Authenticated SSRF via incomplete external reference validation
Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026
SSRF in AgentFront FrontMCP and its OpenAPI packages allows remote authenticated users to reach internal services through crafted specs. The loadOpenAPISpec path passes untrusted URLs and external references to a guard that neither resolves and pins addresses nor revalidates redirects or normalizes IPv4-mapped IPv6. Exploitation requires permission to import or configure a specification in a hosted or multi-user deployment and exposes private endpoints to backend-origin requests.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
