Unauthenticated internal metadata disclosure via unchecked fetch
Published Jul 9, 2026 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
SSRF in Stefan Bohacek Fediverse Embeds before 1.5.8 allows remote attackers to read parsed metadata from internal URLs. The unauthenticated site-info endpoint accepts a caller-controlled destination and fetches it without checking for internal or private-network addresses. A nonce exposed on public pages containing an embed satisfies the request gate, allowing anonymous access to metadata returned by reachable internal services.
