Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Subsequent System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade musicplayerdaemon/MPD and MPD to 0.24.11.

AI-suggested

Since the vulnerability is fixed in version 0.24.11 of MPD, upgrading to version 0.24.11 or later is recommended once available. Additionally, ensure that libcurl is updated to version 7.85.0 or later, which enforces redirect protocol restrictions. If you cannot patch yet, avoid exposing MPD to untrusted networks or inputs that could trigger URL fetch commands.

Description

Music Player Daemon (MPD) before version 0.24.11 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in CurlInputPlugin where CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is set without CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR, allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass the http/https scheme restriction by causing a malicious HTTP server to redirect to non-HTTP protocols such as gopher, ftp, sftp, ldap, dict, rtmp, or rtsp. Attackers can trigger this vulnerability via MPD commands that initiate URL fetches, including add, readcomments, albumart, readpicture, or load, to interact with internal or restricted network services on systems running libcurl versions prior to 7.85.0.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this SSRF vulnerability to cause MPD to make requests to internal or restricted network services using protocols other than HTTP/HTTPS, such as gopher, ftp, sftp, ldap, dict, rtmp, or rtsp. This could lead to unauthorized access or interaction with internal resources that are otherwise inaccessible, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling further attacks within the network. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity impact with network attack vector, no privileges or user interaction required, and low scope impact.

Summary

CVE-2026-49129 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in Music Player Daemon (MPD) prior to version 0.24.11. The issue exists in the CurlInputPlugin where the libcurl option CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled without setting CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR to restrict allowed redirect protocols. As a result, an attacker can cause MPD to follow redirects to non-HTTP protocols, bypassing intended scheme restrictions. This can be exploited via MPD commands that initiate URL fetches, potentially allowing interaction with internal or restricted network services. The vulnerability depends on the use of libcurl versions prior to 7.85.0, which do not enforce protocol restrictions on redirects.
