CVE-2026-55455

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Appsmith is a platform to build admin panels, internal tools, and dashboards. Prior to 2.1, the outbound HTTP host filter applied by WebClientUtils (used by the REST API and GraphQL datasource plugins) validates hosts against an exact-match string denylist. The comprehensive address-class check (loopback, any-local, link-local, fc00::/7) exists only on a separate code path used by SMTP, not by the HTTP plugin path. As a result, an authenticated user can craft outbound requests that reach loopback-bound services inside the container. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.

Antes de 2.1, el filtro de host HTTP saliente aplicado por WebClientUtils (utilizado por la API REST y los plugins de fuente de datos GraphQL) valida los hosts contra una lista de denegación de cadenas de coincidencia exacta. La verificación exhaustiva de clase de dirección (loopback, any-local, link-local, fc00::/7) existe solo en una ruta de código separada utilizada por SMTP, no por la ruta del plugin HTTP. Como resultado, un usuario autenticado puede elaborar solicitudes salientes que alcanzan servicios vinculados a loopback dentro del contenedor. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en 2.1."
