Summary

Wanderer, a self-hosted trail database, has a server-side request forgery flaw in its trail download endpoint, which fetches attacker-supplied URLs without validation when PUBLIC_PRIVATE_INSTANCE is not set to true. An attacker can remotely, without logging in, use it to read data returned by internal services and cloud metadata addresses, perform internal network reconnaissance, or cause a denial of service.

Read the original description

Wanderer is a self-hosted trail database for saving and sharing adventures. Prior to 0.20.0, when PUBLIC_PRIVATE_INSTANCE is not set to true, the unauthenticated POST /api/v1/trail/download handler passes the attacker-controlled JSON url field directly to event.fetch() and returns the fetched response. This allows requests to internal services such as db:8090 and search:7700, cloud metadata addresses, and other network destinations, exposing returned data and permitting internal network reconnaissance or denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 0.20.0.

Questions about CVE-2026-71495

Is CVE-2026-71495 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data

What does this mean?

The /api/v1/trail/download endpoint accepts a URL without validating it, so the server can be made to send requests to internal services and cloud metadata endpoints and return the responses to the requester.Source: github.com

Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-71495?

wanderer: before 0.20.0.Source: cve.now feed data

Am I affected, and how do I check?

Wanderer v0.19.3 and earlier are affected, but only when PUBLIC_PRIVATE_INSTANCE is not set to true, since that setting leaves the endpoint reachable by unauthenticated users. Check the installed version and the PUBLIC_PRIVATE_INSTANCE setting.Source: github.com

How do I fix CVE-2026-71495?

Upgrade to Wanderer v0.20.0 or later, which contains the fix.Source: github.com
