CVE-2026-107362: Malcolm file-upload component SSRF via FilePond fetch API

CVE-2026-107362 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.1 · Published 2026-10-08

Malcolm is a network analysis appliance that captures and analyzes network traffic. Its file-upload component exposes an unsecured fetch route that allows any authenticated user to make the server retrieve arbitrary URLs and read their contents, including responses from internal services like databases, APIs, and dashboards that are normally inaccessible from outside the appliance.

Technologies: CISA Malcolm. Vendors: CISA.

How to fix

Technical details

The bundled FilePond PHP server's index.php exposes a fetch API route that accepts arbitrary URLs and uses curl with FOLLOWLOCATION enabled to retrieve them, storing response bodies in an accessible transfer directory. An authenticated user can exploit this server-side request forgery (SSRF) via HEAD requests to read HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP responses from internal services (OpenSearch, Malcolm API, Dashboards, NetBox, Valkey, and Docker gateway-reachable hosts), then retrieve stored bodies via the restore endpoint. The fix ships in v26.09.0 by removing the fetch route handler entirely.
