Internal resource disclosure via unfiltered embedded URLs
Published Aug 5, 2026 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
SSRF in all versions of Stirling PDF allows remote attackers to read internal resources through the URL-to-PDF conversion endpoint. ConvertWebsiteToPDF checks only the initial public URL before passing unsanitized HTML to WeasyPrint, which fetches embedded URLs without SSRF filtering. An attacker-controlled public page can make the unauthenticated server request cloud metadata or internal services and include retrieved content in the generated PDF.
