CVE-2026-46526: CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in LearningCircuit local-deep-research
CVE-2026-46526 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in LearningCircuit's local-deep-research product prior to version 1.6.10. The issue arises from a logical flaw in the URL validation logic, where differences between the URL parsing library used for validation and the one used for sending requests allow attackers to bypass SSRF protections. This vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 5. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.6.10. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no official patch advisory details are provided beyond the version fix.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The local-deep-research tool from LearningCircuit had a logical flaw in its URL validation mechanism before version 1.6.10. The product uses a validate_url function to check the host portion of URLs to prevent SSRF attacks. However, discrepancies between the urlparse library used for validation and the requests library used to send HTTP requests allowed attackers to bypass these checks and perform SSRF. This could enable an attacker with limited privileges to induce the server to make unintended HTTP requests. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery) and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.0 (medium severity). The issue is resolved in version 1.6.10 of local-deep-research.
Potential Impact
An attacker with limited privileges could exploit this SSRF vulnerability to cause the server to make HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs, potentially accessing internal resources or services not intended to be reachable externally. The impact is limited to confidentiality (partial information disclosure) without integrity or availability impact. There are no known active exploits reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade local-deep-research to version 1.6.10 or later, where the SSRF vulnerability is fixed. Since no official vendor advisory or patch link is provided, users should verify the version and update accordingly. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed beyond the version fix statement; therefore, check the vendor's official channels for the latest remediation guidance.
