CVE-2026-6979 Details
Description
A flaw has been found in devlikeapro WAHA up to 2026.3.4. This affects an unknown function of the file src/api/media.controller.ts of the component API Request Handler. This manipulation causes server-side request forgery. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in devlikeapro WAHA versions through 2026.3.4. The issue arises in the media conversion API endpoint, where user-provided URLs are fetched server-side without proper validation. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with an API key to access internal services or metadata by manipulating the URL input.
It is recommended to disable URL-based media inputs when not needed, enforce strict destination allowlists for outbound URL fetches, and apply outbound egress policies at the network layer. Additionally, introducing a centralized SSRF-safe URL validator before fetching URLs and adding security regression tests for private IP, DNS rebinding, and redirect bypass patterns could help mitigate this vulnerability.
