Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the user patching API endpoint didn't properly limit the scope of edits. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, a user with the project.edit permission (granted by the per-project "Administration" role) can configure machine translation service URLs pointing to arbitrary internal network addresses. During configuration validation, Weblate makes an HTTP request to the attacker-controlled URL and reflects up to 200 characters of the response body back to the user in an error message. This constitutes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) with partial response read. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17. If developers are unable to immediately upgrade, they can limit available machinery services via WEBLATE_MACHINERY setting.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the ZIP download feature didn't verify downloaded files, potentially following symlinks outside the repository. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the ALLOWED_ASSET_DOMAINS setting applied only to the first issued requests and didn't restrict possible redirects. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the project backup didn't filter Git and Mercurial configuration files which could lead to remote code execution under certain circumstances. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17. If developers are unable to update immediately, they can limit the scope of the vulnerability by restricting access to the project backup, as it is only accessible to users who can create projects.
CVE-2026-33220 is a medium severity vulnerability in Weblate versions prior to 5.17 involving improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (path traversal) in the translation memory API. This flaw allowed access to unintended endpoints without proper access control. The issue has been fixed in Weblate version 5.17. Users unable to upgrade immediately can mitigate risk by disabling the translation memory API feature, which is not enabled by default unless the CDN add-on is used.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the translation memory API exposed unintended endpoints, which in turn didn't enforce proper access control. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17. If users are unable to update immediately, they can work around this issue by blocking access to /api/memory/ in the HTTP server, which removes access to this feature.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the tasks API didn't verify user access for pending tasks. This could expose logs of in-progress operations to users who don't have access to given scope. The attacker needs to brute-force the random UUID of the task, so exploiting this is unlikely with the default API rate limits. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to version 5.16.1, the REST API's `AddonViewSet` (`weblate/api/views.py`, line 2831) uses `queryset = Addon.objects.all()` without overriding `get_queryset()` to scope results by user permissions. This allows any authenticated user (or anonymous users if `REQUIRE_LOGIN` is not set) to list and retrieve ALL addons across all projects and components via `GET /api/addons/` and `GET /api/addons/{id}/`. Version 5.16.1 fixes the issue.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to 5.16.0, the SSH management console did not validate the passed input while adding the SSH host key, which could lead to an argument injection to `ssh-add`. Version 5.16.0 fixes the issue. As a workaround, properly limit access to the management console.
CVE-2026-23535 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in the Weblate command-line client (wlc) versions prior to 1.17.2. It allows a malicious Weblate server to instruct the client to write files to arbitrary locations on the user's filesystem during multi-translation downloads. Exploitation requires network access to a malicious or compromised Weblate server and user interaction to trigger the download. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability by enabling unauthorized file writes, potentially leading to code execution or system compromise. The issue is fixed in wlc version 1.17.2. European organizations using vulnerable wlc versions should upgrade promptly and validate server trustworthiness.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to 5.15.2, the screenshot images were served directly by the HTTP server without proper access control. This could allow an unauthenticated user to access screenshots after guessing their filename. This vulnerability is fixed in 5.15.2.
wlc is a Weblate command-line client using Weblate's REST API. Prior to 1.17.0, wlc supported providing unscoped API keys in the setting. This practice was discouraged for years, but the code was never removed. This might cause the API key to be leaked to different servers.
wlc is a Weblate command-line client using Weblate's REST API. Prior to 1.17.0, the SSL verification would be skipped for some crafted URLs. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.17.0.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.15.1, it was possible to overwrite Git configuration remotely and override some of its behavior. Version 5.15.1 fixes the issue.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.15.1, it was possible to read arbitrary files from the server file system using crafted symbolic links in the repository. Version 5.15.1 fixes the issue.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.15, it was possible to retrieve user notification settings or list all users via API. Version 5.15 fixes the issue.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.15, it was possible to trigger repository updates for many repositories via a crafted webhook payload. Version 5.15 fixes the issue. As a workaround, disabling webhooks completely using ENABLE_HOOKS avoids this vulnerability.
Weblate is a web based localization tool. The Create Component functionality in Weblate allows authorized users to add new translation components by specifying both a version control system and a source code repository URL to pull from. However, prior to version 5.15, the repository URL field is not validated or sanitized, allowing an attacker to supply arbitrary protocols, hostnames, and IP addresses, including localhost, internal network addresses, and local filenames. When the Mercurial version control system is selected, Weblate exposes the full server-side HTTP response for the provided URL. This effectively creates a server-side request forgery (SSRF) primitive that can probe internal services and return their contents. In addition to accessing internal HTTP endpoints, the behavior also enables local file enumeration by attempting file:// requests. While file contents may not always be returned, the application’s error messages clearly differentiate between files that exist and files that do not, revealing information about the server’s filesystem layout. In cloud environments, this behavior is particularly dangerous, as internal-only endpoints such as cloud metadata services may be accessible, potentially leading to credential disclosure and full environment compromise. This has been addressed in the Weblate 5.15 release. As a workaround, remove Mercurial from `VCS_BACKENDS`; the Git backend is not affected. The Git backend was already configured to block the file protocol and does not expose the HTTP response content in the error message.
CVE-2025-64725 is a low-severity vulnerability in Weblate versions prior to 5.15 that allows a user to accept an invitation intended for a different user due to incorrect user management (CWE-286). This flaw can lead to unauthorized acceptance of invitations if a session with an invitation is left unattended. The vulnerability requires local access with low privileges, user interaction, and has a high attack complexity, limiting its exploitability. No known exploits are currently in the wild, and a patch is available in version 5.15. European organizations using Weblate should update promptly and avoid leaving invitation sessions unattended to mitigate risk. The impact is limited mainly to confidentiality and integrity of invitation acceptance, with no direct availability impact. Countries with significant open source development and localization activities, such as Germany, France, and the UK, are more likely to be affected due to higher Weblate usage. Overall, the threat is low but warrants attention in environments where Weblate is used for collaborative translation projects.
