CVE-2026-125115: Novu SSRF in HTTP requests and webhooks via RFC6598 addresses

CVE-2026-125115 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.8 · Published 2026-11-09

Novu is a notification service that allows workflows to send HTTP requests and filter webhooks. The service failed to block requests to the RFC6598 shared address space (100.64.0.0/10), which includes cloud metadata endpoints like Alibaba Cloud's 100.100.100.200. An attacker could configure a workflow or webhook filter to access sensitive internal metadata services, potentially exposing cloud provider credentials or private infrastructure.

Technologies: Novu. Vendors: Novu.

Technical details

The validateUrlSsrf function in the SSRF validation module used an incomplete deny-list that omitted the RFC6598 shared address space (100.64.0.0/10) and its IPv4-mapped IPv6 equivalents. This allowed HTTP workflow steps and webhook filter conditions to make server-side requests to addresses in that range, including cloud metadata endpoints and CGNAT-routed internal services. The fix adds regex patterns to block 100.64.0.0/10 and ::ffff: IPv4-mapped forms in both the shared and application-generic implementations.
