Server-Side Request Forgery in Kanboard by Kanboard Inc.
CVE-2026-57862
What is CVE-2026-57862?
Kanboard versions 1.2.52 and earlier are susceptible to a server-side request forgery vulnerability that allows authenticated users to bypass existing SSRF protections. By inputting hexadecimal IP address notation in user-controlled URLs, attackers can take advantage of the application’s inability to validate this input correctly. This flaw enables them to submit hexadecimal-encoded internal IP addresses via the link creation feature, leading to unintentional connections to internal network resources such as cloud instance metadata services, localhost services, and private RFC1918 addresses. The improper handling of IP validation within the isPrivateURL() filter due to FILTER_VALIDATE_IP only accepting dotted-decimal formats further exacerbates this issue.
Affected Version(s)
