CVE-2026-62857
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk16th percentile - higher than 16% of all known CVEs
Summary
Fedify from version 1.2.0 through affected 1.9, 1.10, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 maintenance lines, in getNodeInfo(), follows an attacker-controlled links[].href value from /.well-known/nodeinfo without scheme, redirect, or private-address validation, allowing requests to loopback, link-local, cloud metadata, and private-network services and returning their response bodies. The issue is fixed in versions 1.9.13, 1.10.12, 2.0.22, 2.1.18, 2.2.7, and 2.3.2.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can use the server to scan internal networks, access cloud metadata or other sensitive services, potentially leading to data leakage or privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Update Fedify to one of the patched versions. Additionally, restrict outbound HTTP requests and validate URLs.

Fedify is a TypeScript library for building federated server apps powered by ActivityPub. Fedify previously addressed SSRF/internal network access in GHSA-p9cg-vqcc-grcx by adding public URL validation before runtime document and media fetching. However, the IPv4 validation logic present starting in version 0.11.2 and prior to versions 1.9.12, 1.10.11, 2.0.19, 2.1.15, and 2.2.4 appears incomplete. The `validatePublicUrl()` protection relies on `isValidPublicIPv4Address()` to reject non-public IPv4 destinations. The function blocks common private and local ranges such as `10.0.0.0/8`, `127.0.0.0/8`, `169.254.0.0/16`, `172.16.0.0/12`, and `192.168.0.0/16`, but it still treats several special-use, reserved, multicast, benchmarking, and carrier-grade NAT IPv4 ranges as valid public destinations. Because this validation is used as an SSRF defense before outbound fetches, this appears to be an incomplete mitigation or bypass class for the previous SSRF issue. Versions 1.9.12, 1.10.11, 2.0.19, 2.1.15, and 2.2.4 contain an updated patch.
- CVE-2026-42462High
Fedify, a TypeScript library for building federated server apps with ActivityPub, is vulnerable to an attack exploiting JSON-LD features. An attacker can restructure a JSON-LD document without changing its Linked Data Signature, allowing modification of a third-party signed activity.
