# CVE-2026-125115: Novu: \`validateUrlSsrf\` permits CGNAT (100.64.0.0/10) destinations — affects Workflow HTTP request step + Webhook filter condition

- Also known as: GHSA-VG6V-J97M-H5XQ
- Severity: CVSS 6.8 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 3.17.0
- Published: 2026-11-09 · Updated: 2026-11-09

CVE-2026-125115 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 6.8 (medium) and affects novu and application-generic; fixed in 3.17.0.

## Summary

Novu's workflow HTTP request step and webhook filter condition can be used to make the server send requests to addresses in the CGNAT range (100.64.0.0/10), which its SSRF validation fails to block. An attacker with low-privilege network access can trigger this with a user's interaction, potentially reading data from internal services or cloud instance metadata.

## Affected

- novuhq novu: fixed in 3.17.0
- @novu application-generic: fixed in 3.17.0
- @novu/application-generic (npm): fixed in 3.17.0

## Description

Novu provides an API for sending notifications through multiple channels. Prior to 3.17.0, validateUrlSsrf in libs/application-generic/src/utils/ssrf-url-validation.ts uses the isPrivateIp deny-list without covering the RFC6598 100.64.0.0/10 shared address space or its IPv4-mapped IPv6 forms. The workflow HTTP request step and webhook filter condition can therefore send server-side requests when a configured literal address or resolved hostname falls in that range. In Alibaba Cloud, 100.100.100.200 may expose instance metadata, while self-hosted and multi-tenant deployments may expose provider-internal services, private infrastructure, service meshes, or VPN resources reachable through CGNAT addressing. This issue is fixed in version 3.17.0.
