Product: xibo-cms

Description

Xibo is an open source digital signage platform with a web content management system and Windows display player software. Prior to 4.4.1, an authenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the Xibo CMS allows users with Library upload permissions to make arbitrary HTTP requests from the CMS server to internal or external network resources. This can be exploited to scan internal infrastructure, access local cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., AWS IMDS), interact with internal services that lack authentication, or exfiltrate data. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.4.1.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-42141 is a CWE-918 SSRF vulnerability affecting xibo-cms before version 4.4.1. It allows authenticated users with specific permissions to induce the server to send crafted HTTP requests to arbitrary locations, potentially exposing internal network resources or sensitive metadata endpoints. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.7 (high severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and high confidentiality impact. The vendor has released version 4.4.1 which addresses this issue. The product is a cloud-hosted service, so the vendor manages remediation on the server side.

Potential Impact

Exploitation allows an authenticated user with Library upload permissions to perform SSRF attacks from the CMS server, potentially leading to internal network scanning, unauthorized access to cloud metadata services (e.g., AWS IMDS), interaction with internal unauthenticated services, and exfiltration of sensitive data. Confidentiality is impacted, but integrity and availability are not directly affected according to the CVSS vector. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade xibo-cms to version 4.4.1 or later, where this SSRF vulnerability is fixed. Since this is a cloud-hosted service, the vendor manages remediation on the server side; verify with the vendor advisory that your instance is updated. No additional mitigation actions are indicated by the vendor advisory.
