CVE-2026-126799: Gotenberg server-side request forgery in IsPublicIP IPv6 handling

CVE-2026-126799 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-11-11

Gotenberg, a document conversion service, fails to properly validate IPv6 addresses when classifying them as public or private. An attacker can exploit this by appending IPv6 zone identifiers (like %eth0) to internal IP addresses, bypassing the server's protections and reaching internal services through downloadFrom URLs, webhooks, or Chromium/LibreOffice conversion parameters, with responses leaked in generated PDFs.

Technical details

The IsPublicIP() function in outbound.go fails to strip IPv6 zone identifiers before checking against public IP deny-lists. An attacker can craft requests with URLs like http://[::1%eth0]/ or http://[::%1]/ to bypass private-IP protections and trigger server-side requests to internal services. The vulnerability affects versions 8.31.0 through 8.37.0 and requires no authentication.
