Internal resource disclosure via unrestricted Chromium fetches
Published May 14, 2026 · Updated May 14, 2026
SSRF in Gotenberg before 8.32.0 allows remote attackers to read internal HTTP resources through its Chromium URL-to-PDF endpoint. The endpoint permits HTTP and HTTPS targets by default, and Chromium follows redirects without revalidating each destination against the configured deny-list. Any unauthenticated caller that can reach the API can render loopback, private-network, or cloud-metadata responses as PDFs, exposing readable data but not granting write access.
