# CVE-2026-44502: Bugsink: SSRF bypass in \`validate\_webhook\_url\`

- Also known as: GHSA-FP53-QCF8-2XX2, PYSEC-2026-2405
- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 2.1.3
- Published: 2026-05-26 · Updated: 2026-05-27

## Affected

- bugsink: fixed in 2.1.3
- bugsink (PyPI): fixed in 2.1.3

## Description

Bugsink is a self-hosted error tracking tool. Prior to 2.1.3, Bugsink’s webhook URL validation could be (partially) bypassed because of a mismatch in URL parsing. The original validation logic parsed webhook URLs with Python’s urllib.parse.urlparse, then sent the request with requests.post. For malformed inputs involving backslashes and @, those components can disagree about where the authority ends and which hostname is the real target. A URL may therefore appear to target an allowlisted public hostname during validation, while the HTTP client actually connects to a different host. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.3.

## What to do
