CVE-2026-82801Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Internal host discovery via unvalidated image URL

Published Aug 31, 2026 · Updated Aug 31, 2026

SSRF in NASA Earthdata Search 1.0.0 allows remote attackers to probe internal hosts through the unauthenticated scale endpoint. The scaleImage handler passes the imageSrc query value to an Axios download routine without validating its scheme, host, resolved address, or redirects. No authentication or user interaction is required; response timing discloses live internal hosts while the server reaches internal services.
