Concrete CMS 9.0.0 to 9.5.2 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery iremote file import via cross-port reuse of a host's validated DNS pin. (CVE-2026-18424)
Concrete CMS versions 9.0.0 through 9.5.2 contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability involving remote file import and DNS pin reuse. A low-privileged authenticated user allowed to import files can exploit this by supplying a DNS-rebinding host that resolves differently during validation and download, enabling access to internal resources. The vulnerability has a low CVSS v4.0 score of 2.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Concrete CMS 9.0.0 to 9.5.2 is vulnerable to SSRF via cross-port reuse of a host's validated DNS pin. When multiple remote URLs share the same host, only the first validated URL is retained and reused for subsequent URLs with that host. An attacker with low-privileged authenticated access and file import rights can supply a DNS-rebinding host that resolves to a public IP during validation but to a private or loopback IP during the actual download. This causes the server to fetch internal-only resources and save their responses into the file manager. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2026-18424 and has a CVSS v4.0 score of 2.1.
Potential Impact
An attacker with low-privileged authenticated access and permission to import files can exploit this SSRF vulnerability to cause the server to access internal resources that are normally inaccessible externally, such as loopback services, internal admin panels, or cloud metadata endpoints. The fetched data is saved into the file manager, potentially exposing sensitive internal information. However, the overall severity is low due to the required privileges and high attack complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict file import permissions to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious file import activity related to unusual internal resource access patterns.
