Technical details

The fetch-rss API endpoint accepted unauthenticated requests without rate limiting or response-size caps and performed synchronous XML parsing, allowing attackers to exhaust server resources, amplify traffic to external servers, or probe internal network services even when federation was disabled. The vulnerability affects versions from 12.112.1 through 2026.6.x and is fixed in version 2026.7.0, which introduces URL length limits (8192 bytes), response size caps (1 MB), and proper error handling.
