CVE-2026-7178 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in ChatGPTNextWeb NextChat versions up to 2.16.1. The flaw exists in the storeUrl function within the app/api/artifacts/route.ts file of the Artifacts Endpoint component. An attacker can remotely manipulate the argument ID to trigger SSRF. Although the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed and exploit code is available, the vendor has not yet responded or provided a fix. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity level.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to exploit a weakness in the storeUrl function of the Artifacts Endpoint in ChatGPTNextWeb NextChat (<= 2.16.1) by manipulating the argument ID to perform server-side request forgery. This can cause the server to make unintended HTTP requests, potentially exposing internal resources or services. The issue was reported early to the project but remains unpatched as of the publication date. No official remediation or patch is currently available from the vendor.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this SSRF vulnerability could allow an attacker to make arbitrary requests from the vulnerable server, potentially accessing internal systems or services that are not otherwise exposed. This could lead to information disclosure or further attacks depending on the internal network configuration. However, no known exploits in the wild have been reported at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded or released a fix, users should consider implementing network-level protections such as restricting outbound requests from the server or using web application firewalls to detect and block SSRF attempts until an official patch is available.
