CVE-2026-71303
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Lemur manages TLS certificate creation. Prior to 1.9.3, _validate_acme_url enforced ACME_DIRECTORY_HOST_ALLOWLIST when an authority was created, but PUT /api/1/authorities/ passed options to lemur/authorities/service.py without applying the same check. A user holding an authority role could replace the stored acme_url with an internal service or instance-metadata URL such as 169.254.169.254. The next issuance operation loaded that value and passed it to ClientV2.get_directory, causing an outbound request from the Lemur backend. This bypassed the creation-time mitigation for CVE-2026-55166 and could expose internal services or cloud metadata. The fix revalidates acme_url whenever authority options are updated. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.3.

"value": "Lemur gestiona la creación de certificados TLS. Antes de la versión 1.9.3, “_validate_acme_url” aplicaba ACME_DIRECTORY_HOST_ALLOWLIST cuando se creaba una autoridad, pero PUT /API/1/authorities/ pasaba opciones a lemur/authorities/service.py sin aplicar la misma comprobación. Un usuario con un rol de autoridad podía reemplazar la “acme_url” almacenada con un servicio interno o una URL de metadatos de instancia, como 169.254.169.254. La siguiente operación de emisión cargaba ese valor y lo pasaba a ClientV2.get_directory, causando una solicitud saliente desde el backend de Lemur. Esto eludía la mitigación en tiempo de creación para CVE-2026-55166 y podía exponer servicios internos o metadatos de la nube. La solución revalida la “acme_url” cada vez que se actualizan las opciones de autoridad. Este problema está corregido en la versión 1.9.3."
