CVE-2026-54508: CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in mauriceboe TREK
Description
CVE-2026-54508 is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in mauriceboe TREK, a collaborative travel planner. Versions prior to 3.1.0 improperly validate URLs during certain list import and URL resolution functions, allowing authenticated users to cause the server to make blind GET requests to internal or sensitive network addresses without revalidation. This could enable access to internal services such as loopback, RFC 1918 private addresses, or cloud metadata endpoints. The issue is fixed in version 3.1.0.

Technical Analysis
TREK versions before 3.1.0 have an SSRF vulnerability due to insufficient URL validation after initial checks in importGoogleList(), importNaverList(), and resolveGoogleMapsUrl() functions. These functions use fetch() with redirect: 'follow' instead of a DNS-pinned safeFetch(), allowing attacker-controlled URLs to redirect the server to internal network addresses without revalidation. Authenticated trip members can access list-import routes, and any authenticated user can access the /api/maps/resolve-url endpoint, enabling blind internal GET requests without response reflection. The vulnerability is addressed in version 3.1.0.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authentication can cause the TREK server to make unauthorized internal network requests, potentially accessing sensitive internal services such as loopback interfaces, private IP ranges, or cloud metadata services. The requests are blind, meaning the attacker does not receive response content, but the SSRF could be leveraged for further internal reconnaissance or exploitation depending on the internal environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade TREK to version 3.1.0 or later, where this SSRF vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is required as the fix addresses the root cause by properly validating URLs and using safe fetch methods.
