CVE-2026-42595

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Gotenberg is a PDF file API that prior to version 8.32.0 lacked default protection against HTTP/HTTPS-based SSRF attacks. An attacker could point Chromium at any internal IP and receive a response rendered as a PDF.

Risk Assessment

The lack of adequate protection could lead to the exposure of sensitive data from the organization's internal systems. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to gain access to resources that should be protected.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update Gotenberg to version 8.32.0 or later to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, consider reviewing the deny-list configuration and monitoring traffic to the API.

Original NVD description (English source)

Gotenberg is a Docker-powered stateless API for PDF files. Prior to 8.32.0, Gotenberg's Chromium URL-to-PDF endpoint (/forms/chromium/convert/url) has no default protection against HTTP/HTTPS-based SSRF. The default deny-list regex only blocks file:// URIs. An unauthenticated attacker can point Chromium at any internal IP — including loopback, RFC 1918 ranges, and cloud metadata endpoints — and receive the response rendered as a PDF. Additionally, even when operators configure a custom deny-list, the protection is bypassed via HTTP redirects. Gotenberg's Chromium instance follows 302 redirects from an attacker-controlled external URL to internal targets without re-validating the redirect destination against the deny-list. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.32.0.
