CVE-2026-63642Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Blind SSRF via unchecked HEAD fetch

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026

Server-side request forgery in MagicMirror² before 2.37.0 allows remote attackers to probe internal services via CHECK_ARTICLE_URL. In defaultmodules/newsfeed/node_helper.js, checkArticleUrl accepts an unauthenticated /newsfeed Socket.IO message, passes the supplied url directly to fetch with method HEAD, and returns ARTICLE_URL_STATUS, creating a response and timing oracle. Reachability to the mirror's HTTP port is sufficient; the flaw supports internal host and port discovery and can trigger side effects on services that act on HEAD requests, but it does not expose response bodies.
