Server-Side Request Forgery in Mercator Web Application
CVE-2026-49345
What is CVE-2026-49345?
Mercator, an open source web application for mapping information systems, is susceptible to a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in its configuration panel. This flaw allows authenticated users with specific permissions to manipulate network requests issued by the server. Specifically, the testProvider() method in ConfigurationController does not properly validate URLs, enabling attackers to bypass intended security measures and perform arbitrary outbound requests, including potentially harmful interactions with internal services. This could lead to significant security breaches, including unauthorized data access and Remote Code Execution, especially under certain conditions. The issue has been rectified in version 2025.05.19.
