CVE-2026-44439: CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Lookyloo PlaywrightCapture

VulnerabilityCVE-2026-44439cvecve-2026-44439cwe-918
Published: Wed May 13 2026 (05/13/2026, 21:29:24 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Lookyloo
Product: PlaywrightCapture

Description

PlaywrightCapture is a simple replacement for splash using playwright. Prior to 1.39.6, PlaywrightCapture did not sufficiently restrict navigations and resource requests initiated by rendered pages. An attacker-controlled page could abuse browser-side redirection mechanisms, such as window.location.href, to make the capture process open file:// URLs or request resources hosted on private, loopback, link-local, or otherwise non-public IP addresses. In deployments where PlaywrightCapture processes untrusted URLs, this could allow a remote attacker to perform server-side request forgery against internal services or attempt to access local files from the capture environment. Depending on what capture artifacts are generated and exposed, responses from those resources could potentially be leaked through screenshots, saved page content, logs, or other capture outputs. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.39.6.

Technical Analysis

PlaywrightCapture before version 1.39.6 does not adequately restrict navigations and resource requests initiated by rendered pages, enabling an attacker to exploit browser-side redirection mechanisms such as window.location.href. This allows the capture process to open file:// URLs or request resources on private, loopback, link-local, or non-public IP addresses. In environments processing untrusted URLs, this SSRF vulnerability could be exploited to access internal services or local files. Captured artifacts like screenshots, saved page content, or logs might leak responses from these internal resources. The issue is resolved in PlaywrightCapture version 1.39.6.

Potential Impact

An attacker can remotely induce the PlaywrightCapture process to make unauthorized requests to internal or local network resources or local files, potentially exposing sensitive information through capture artifacts. This could lead to information disclosure from internal services or local files accessible to the capture environment. There is no indication of privilege escalation or remote code execution. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade PlaywrightCapture to version 1.39.6 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since no official remediation level or patch links are provided beyond this version information, users should verify the update availability from the vendor. No additional mitigations are specified or required once the software is updated.
