CVE-2026-94621 Details
Description
AliasVault is a privacy-first password manager with built-in email aliasing. Prior to 0.30.3, the AliasVault server API favicon extractor validates a user-supplied hostname with a first DNS lookup but allows the HTTP client to perform a second DNS lookup when connecting. An authenticated low-privileged user operating an attacker-controlled authoritative DNS server can return a public address during validation and a private address during connection, causing a publicly reachable self-hosted server to issue HTTP or HTTPS requests to internal hosts. A valid image response is returned in Base64 form, while other responses can expose limited timing and error information for internal-network reconnaissance. Exploitation requires a publicly reachable self-hosted instance with public registration enabled, an authenticated AliasVault account, an attacker-controlled authoritative DNS server, and a resolver that permits rebinding; default checks limit requests to ports 80 and 443. The browser extensions, web application, and mobile applications are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.30.3.
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the AliasVault server API favicon extraction feature, affecting versions through 0.30.2. The vulnerability arises because the favicon extractor validates user-supplied hostnames with an initial DNS lookup but allows a second DNS lookup during the HTTP connection. This flaw enables an authenticated, low-privileged user with an attacker-controlled authoritative DNS server to manipulate DNS responses, causing a self-hosted server to make HTTP or HTTPS requests to internal hosts. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access of internal network resources. The vulnerability requires a publicly reachable self-hosted instance with public registration enabled, an authenticated AliasVault account, and a DNS resolver that allows rebinding. The issue is not present in the browser extensions, web application, or mobile applications.
Users are advised to update to AliasVault version 0.30.3 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. Self-hosted users can also disable public registration to reduce exposure.
