Internal response disclosure via unvalidated URL fetches
Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
SSRF in Unstructured 0.4.7 through 0.23.3 allows remote attackers to read internal HTTP responses via URL-based partitioning. The partition, partition_html, and partition_md paths pass attacker-controlled URLs to requests.get without validating hosts, redirects, or resolved addresses. Exploitation requires a server-side application to pass untrusted URLs into these APIs and can disclose loopback, internal-service, or cloud-metadata responses or trigger side-effecting GET endpoints.
