CVE-2026-39383 Details
Description
Gotenberg is an API-based document conversion tool. In version 8.29.1, an unauthenticated attacker with network access can force the server to make outbound HTTP POST requests to arbitrary internal or external destinations by supplying a crafted URL in the Gotenberg-Webhook-Url request header. The FilterDeadline function in filter.go is intended to gate outbound URLs, but when both the allow-list and deny-list are empty (the default configuration), it returns nil unconditionally and permits any URL. This is a blind SSRF: Gotenberg POSTs the converted document to the webhook URL and only checks whether the response status code is an error, but never returns the target's response body to the attacker. An attacker can use this to probe internal network infrastructure by observing whether the error callback is invoked, force POST requests against internal services that perform side effects, and confirm reachability of cloud metadata endpoints. The retryable HTTP client issues up to 4 automatic retries per request, amplifying each probe. This issue has been fixed in version 8.31.0. As a workaround, configure the GOTENBERG_API_WEBHOOK_ALLOW_LIST environment variable to restrict webhook URLs to known receivers, or set GOTENBERG_API_WEBHOOK_DENY_LIST to block RFC-1918 and link-local address ranges.
A blind server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in Gotenberg version 8.29.1. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted URL in the Gotenberg-Webhook-Url request header. The vulnerability arises because the FilterDeadline function, responsible for validating outbound URLs, fails to enforce restrictions when both the allow-list and deny-list are empty, which is the default configuration. As a result, any URL is permitted, allowing attackers to manipulate outbound POST requests to arbitrary internal or external destinations. The vulnerability is blind SSRF, meaning that while Gotenberg sends the converted document to the specified webhook URL, it only checks for error status codes and does not relay the response body back to the attacker. This exploitation can be used to probe internal network services, interact with cloud metadata endpoints, or force POST requests to internal services that perform actions based on the request.
Users can upgrade to Gotenberg version 8.31.0 or later. Alternatively, configure the GOTENBERG_API_WEBHOOK_ALLOW_LIST environment variable to specify allowed webhook URLs, or use the GOTENBERG_API_WEBHOOK_DENY_LIST variable to block internal RFC-1918 and link-local address ranges.
