Internal service access via loopback redirects
Published Sep 22, 2026 · Updated Sep 22, 2026
Server-side request forgery in Home Assistant Core before 2026.2.3 allows remote attackers to reach loopback services via mDNS. The IPP zeroconf handler passes mDNS-supplied host, port, and path values into printer metadata retrieval, and the shared HTTP client follows cross-origin redirects to loopback targets. Access to the local network is required, but neither authentication, user interaction, nor prior IPP configuration is needed to make requests to otherwise unreachable internal services.
