CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedWeblate versions prior to 2026.8 are vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF) due to improper DNS resolution handling during version control system (VCS) operations, allowing an attacker to redirect requests to internal services. This could lead to the exposure of private repository contents if untrusted repository hostnames are permitted. Organizations using Weblate with VCS_RESTRICT_PRIVATE set to true should prioritize this vulnerability to mitigate potential data leaks.

Original NVD Description
Weblate is a web-based continuous localization platform used to manage software translations. In versions prior to 2026.8, a user permitted to manage component repository URLs can perform server-side request forgery against internal services through DNS rebinding during VCS operations. Weblate validates the hostname's first DNS resolution, but the external VCS clients that later connect perform a separate DNS lookup, so an attacker-controlled hostname that initially resolves to a public address can be re-pointed to an internal or private address before the connection is made. By triggering a clone, fetch, push, or similar remote operation, the attacker can cause Weblate to reach internal VCS-compatible services and potentially expose private repository contents. Installations that permit untrusted repository hostnames while using VCS_RESTRICT_PRIVATE=True are affected. This issue is fixed in version 2026.8.
