CVE-2026-41171
HighSummary
Squidex before version 7.23.0 has an SSRF vulnerability due to missing SSRF protection on the `Jint` HTTP client used by scripting engine functions. An authenticated low-privileged user can force the server to make arbitrary outbound HTTP requests to internal or attacker-controlled endpoints. This can lead to access to internal services and cloud metadata endpoints, potentially exposing credentials and enabling lateral movement.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes unauthorized access to internal resources and potential credential exposure, which may lead to privilege escalation and lateral movement within the network.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade Squidex to version 7.23.0 or later, which contains the fix. Additionally, restrict scripting functionality to trusted users only.

Squidex is an open source headless content management system. Prior to version 7.23.0, an SSRF vulnerability allows a user with asset upload permission to force the server to fetch arbitrary URLs, including localhost/private network targets, and persist the response as an asset. Version 7.23.0 contains a fix.
- CVE-2026-41170High
Squidex before version 7.23.0 has an SSRF vulnerability in the `RestoreController.PostRestoreJob` endpoint, which allows an administrator to supply an arbitrary URL for downloading backup archives. This URL is fetched using the "Backup" HttpClient without SSRF protection. A malicious or compromised admin can use this to probe internal services, access cloud metadata, or perform internal reconnaissance.
Original NVD description (English source)
Squidex is an open source headless content management system and content management hub. Versions prior to 7.23.0 have a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability due to missing SSRF protection on the `Jint` HTTP client used by scripting engine functions (`getJSON`, `request`, etc.). An authenticated user with low privileges (e.g., schema editing permissions) can force the server to make arbitrary outbound HTTP requests to attacker-controlled or internal endpoints. This allows access to internal services and cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., IMDS), potentially leading to credential exposure and lateral movement. Version 7.23.0 contains a fix.
