Technical details

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in Weblate's webhook add-on due to the use of an unprotected fetch_url() function. The component fails to apply existing SSRF protections when processing webhook requests. An attacker with high privileges (PR:H) can exploit this over the network to make the server send requests to arbitrary internal or external URLs. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure from internal services. The issue is fixed in version 5.17.
