CVE-2026-72581: CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in duhow xiaoai-patch
CVE-2026-72581 is a high-severity server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the duhow xiaoai-patch product. It allows a remote attacker to make the Xiaomi smart speaker perform HTTP requests to arbitrary internal or external URLs via the /auth endpoint. The vulnerability arises because the user-supplied url POST parameter is not validated before redirecting to a Home Assistant instance, enabling potential internal network scanning and access to internal services.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-918) in duhow/xiaoai-patch occurs through commit fb07049, where the /auth endpoint in api/main.py uses a user-supplied url POST parameter to redirect without validating the destination URL. This flaw enables an unauthenticated remote attacker to coerce the Xiaomi smart speaker to send HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs, including internal network addresses, potentially exposing internal services or enabling network reconnaissance.
Potential Impact
An attacker can exploit this SSRF vulnerability to make the affected device send HTTP requests to arbitrary internal or external URLs. This can lead to unauthorized internal network scanning and access to internal services that are otherwise inaccessible externally. The CVSS score of 8.6 reflects a high impact on confidentiality with no impact on integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround is currently documented. Users should monitor vendor communications for updates and avoid exposing the vulnerable endpoint to untrusted networks until a fix is available.
