Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should promptly upgrade Astro to version 12.6.6 or later, where the issue is fixed. Beyond upgrading, organizations should audit their Astro configurations to ensure that the output is not unnecessarily set to 'server' unless required, and consider alternative imageService configurations if feasible. Implement strict network egress filtering on servers running Astro to restrict outbound HTTP requests only to trusted domains, preventing SSRF exploitation from reaching internal or sensitive endpoints. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules tuned to detect and block unusual or unauthorized requests to image optimization endpoints. Conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing focusing on SSRF vectors, especially in custom integrations with Astro and Cloudflare. Monitor logs for unusual outbound requests or access patterns indicative of SSRF attempts. Finally, maintain an up-to-date inventory of web frameworks and dependencies to ensure timely patching of vulnerabilities.

Description

Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. Versions 11.0.3 through 12.6.5 are vulnerable to SSRF when using Astro's Cloudflare adapter. When configured with output: 'server' while using the default imageService: 'compile', the generated image optimization endpoint doesn't check the URLs it receives, allowing content from unauthorized third-party domains to be served.a A bug in impacted versions of the @astrojs/cloudflare adapter for deployment on Cloudflare’s infrastructure, allows an attacker to bypass the third-party domain restrictions and serve any content from the vulnerable origin. This issue is fixed in version 12.6.6.

Impact

For European organizations, this SSRF vulnerability poses significant risks, especially for those relying on Astro for their web presence and content delivery. Exploitation could allow attackers to access internal services behind firewalls, potentially exposing sensitive data or internal APIs not intended for public access. This could lead to data leakage, unauthorized information disclosure, or manipulation of content served to end users, undermining trust and compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. Additionally, attackers might leverage SSRF to pivot within the network, escalating attacks or conducting reconnaissance. Given that many European companies use Cloudflare for performance and security, the combination with vulnerable Astro versions increases the attack surface. The vulnerability's ability to bypass domain restrictions also raises concerns about supply chain attacks or content poisoning. The impact on service integrity and confidentiality is notable, though availability impact is minimal. Organizations in sectors with stringent data privacy requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government, are particularly at risk due to potential regulatory and reputational consequences.
