CVE-2026-45245: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in steipete summarize
Summarize prior to 0.15.1 contains a vulnerability in the hover summary feature that allows malicious pages to dispatch synthetic mouseover events over attacker-controlled links, causing the extension to make authenticated daemon requests using stored tokens without verifying event trustworthiness. Attackers can place local or private-network URLs behind hoverable links to route authenticated requests through the daemon, potentially accessing sensitive internal endpoints when users interact with attacker-controlled content.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Summarize browser extension before version 0.15.1 contains an SSRF vulnerability in its hover summary feature. Attackers can dispatch synthetic mouseover events on links they control, causing the extension to send authenticated requests to internal or local network endpoints via the daemon using stored tokens. The extension does not verify the trustworthiness of these events, enabling potential unauthorized access to sensitive internal resources. There is no official patch or remediation level currently stated.
Potential Impact
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause the extension to make authenticated requests to local or private network URLs on behalf of the user. This may expose sensitive internal endpoints or data accessible only within the user's network environment. The impact is limited by user interaction (UI required) and the medium severity score reflects the moderate risk of unauthorized internal network access without privilege requirements.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should avoid interacting with untrusted or suspicious content that could trigger synthetic mouseover events in the Summarize extension. Monitoring for updates from the vendor is recommended to apply any forthcoming patches promptly.
