CVE-2026-48051: CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in papra-hq papra
Papra is a minimalistic document management and archiving platform. Prior to version 26.5.0, Papra's webhook delivery system contains an SSRF protection bypass that allows any authenticated organisation member to cause the server to make HTTP requests to internal addresses — loopback, link-local, and RFC-1918 ranges. The SSRF protection validates the registered webhook URL but ignores redirect destinations. The HTTP client (ofetch) follows 3xx responses automatically, and the redirect target is never checked against the blocklist. An attacker registers a webhook pointing to an attacker-controlled server, which redirects incoming POSTs to any internal address. Exploitation was confirmed by live test against the official Docker image. The fix is a single-line change to the webhook HTTP client. This issue has been patched in version 26.5.0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-48051 is an SSRF vulnerability in papra-hq's papra product affecting versions before 26.5.0. The webhook delivery system validates the initial webhook URL against an SSRF blocklist but does not validate redirect destinations. The HTTP client (ofetch) automatically follows 3xx redirects, allowing an attacker to register a webhook URL pointing to an attacker-controlled server that redirects requests to internal IP ranges such as loopback, link-local, and RFC-1918 addresses. This enables an authenticated organization member to cause the server to make unauthorized HTTP requests to internal network resources. The vulnerability was confirmed by live testing and fixed with a single-line change in the HTTP client in version 26.5.0.
Potential Impact
An authenticated organization member can exploit this SSRF vulnerability to make the papra server send HTTP requests to internal network addresses that are normally inaccessible externally. This could potentially expose internal services or data reachable via these internal addresses. The CVSS score is 3.5 (low), reflecting limited impact with low privileges required and no direct confidentiality or integrity loss reported beyond limited information exposure.
Mitigation Recommendations
This vulnerability is patched in papra version 26.5.0. Users should upgrade to version 26.5.0 or later to remediate the SSRF protection bypass. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor stating the fix is included in version 26.5.0.
