Summary
The default SSRF protection configuration did not apply IP filtering to hostnames. With ApplyIPFilterForDomain disabled by default, URL validation checked domain allow/block rules but did not resolve a hostname and validate the resolved IP address. Authenticated users could configure notification URLs for Webhook, Bark, or Gotify notifications and point a hostname at an internal or metadata IP address.
Impact
A regular authenticated user could cause the server to send notification requests to internal HTTP services reachable from the deployment network. Depending on the target environment, this could expose sensitive internal data through timing, errors, or response-dependent behavior. The issue is rated High.
Affected versions
Versions before v0.12.0-alpha.1 are affected. The previous affected range of <= v0.11.4-alpha.4 was too narrow because the unsafe default remained present until the v0.12.0-alpha.1 fix.
Patches
This issue is fixed in v0.12.0-alpha.1. The default fetch setting now sets ApplyIPFilterForDomain: true, causing hostname destinations to be resolved and checked against the configured IP filtering rules during URL validation.
This patch addresses the unresolved-hostname bypass for the affected notification URL paths. It does not mark the separate DNS rebinding advisory as fixed, because connection-time IP enforcement is tracked separately.
Workarounds
If upgrading immediately is not possible, explicitly enable ApplyIPFilterForDomain, restrict notification URL domains with an allowlist, disable user-configurable notification URLs where practical, and enforce outbound network filtering at the host or network layer.

The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability can affect other systems as well, not just the initial system. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information.
Exploitation activity has been observed. Apply available patches or mitigations urgently.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
