Internal resource disclosure via unvalidated NodeInfo URL
Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026
SSRF in Fedify allows remote attackers to read internal HTTP resources through a NodeInfo lookup of an attacker-controlled peer. The getNodeInfo() function and Context.lookupNodeInfo() wrapper fetch links[].href from /.well-known/nodeinfo with raw fetch(), without validating the scheme, redirect path, or resolved address. The application must look up an attacker-controlled instance; Fedify then returns response bodies from reachable loopback, link-local, metadata, or private-network HTTP services.
