- Also known as: EUVD-2026-111277, GHSA-4GP5-59X3-VHHG
- Severity: CVSS 6.4 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

## Summary

HomeBox, a home inventory and organization system, is affected before version 0.27.0 in its generic notifier feature, where redirects from allowed notifier hosts can bypass the product's internal address restrictions. An authenticated user could use this to make the server send requests to internal or cloud metadata addresses, potentially exposing sensitive internal resources.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- sysadminsmedia homebox: fixed in 0.27.0

## Description

HomeBox is a home inventory and organization system. Prior to version 0.27.0, Homebox validates generic notifier URLs with ValidateNotifierURL before creation, update, testing, and scheduled delivery, but shoutrrr sends the request through http.DefaultClient.Do without a CheckRedirect policy that revalidates each Location target. An authenticated collection member can configure a permitted notifier host that redirects to loopback, link-local, cloud metadata, or another blocked destination, causing the follow-up request to bypass the product's SSRF policy. The flaw is reachable through POST /api/v1/notifiers/test for immediate requests and through stored notifiers during scheduled maintenance delivery. This issue is fixed in version 0.27.0.
