Server-Side Request Forgery Vulnerability in Weblate Localization Platform
CVE-2026-77573
What is CVE-2026-77573?
Weblate, a continuous localization platform, is susceptible to a server-side request forgery vulnerability in versions earlier than 2026.8. This weakness allows a user with privileges to manage component repository URLs to exploit DNS rebinding, potentially compromising internal services. The initial DNS resolution by Weblate is validated; however, the connection made by external VCS clients involves a separate DNS lookup. An attacker could manipulate a hostname to initially resolve a public address and later redirect it to a private address. By initiating operations such as clone, fetch, or push, the attacker might compel Weblate to interact with internal VCS-compatible services, which could result in the exposure of private repository content. This vulnerability impacts installations that allow untrusted repository hostnames with VCS_RESTRICT_PRIVATE set to True and is remedied in version 2026.8.
