8.6 CVE-2026-32857
Firecrawl version 2.8.0 and prior contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) protection bypass vulnerability in the Playwright scraping service where network policy validation is applied only to the initial user-supplied URL and not to subsequent redirect destinations. Attackers can supply an externally valid URL that passes validation and returns an HTTP redirect to an internal or restricted resource, allowing the browser to follow the redirect and fetch the final destination without revalidation, thereby gaining access to internal network services and sensitive endpoints. This issue is distinct from CVE-2024-56800, which describes redirect-based SSRF generally. This vulnerability specifically arises from a post-redirect enforcement gap in implemented SSRF protections, where validation is applied only to the initial request and not to the final redirected destination.

CWE-918 : Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. Cross Site Port Attack Server-Side Request Forgery Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.) SSRF in LLM application development framework because the URL retriever allows connections to local addresses using a crafted Location header Chain: LLM integration framework has prompt injection(CWE-1427) that allows an attacker to force the service to retrievedata from an arbitrary URL, essentially providing SSRF (CWE-918) andpotentially injecting content into downstream tasks. Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in mail server, as exploited in the wild per CISA KEV. Server Side Request Forgery in cloud platform, as exploited in the wild per CISA KEV. Chain: incorrect validation of intended decimal-based IP address format (CWE-1286) enables parsing of octal or hexadecimal formats (CWE-1389), allowing bypass of an SSRF protection mechanism (CWE-918). Web server allows attackers to request a URL from another server, including other ports, which allows proxied scanning. CGI script accepts and retrieves incoming URLs. Web-based mail program allows internal network scanning using a modified POP3 port number. URL-downloading library automatically follows redirects to file:// and scp:// URLs

Server Side Request Forgery
[Find target application] Find target web application that accepts a user input and retrieves data from the server [Examine existing application requests] Examine HTTP/GET requests to view the URL query format. Adversaries test to see if this type of attack is possible through weaknesses in an application's protection to Server Side Request Forgery [Malicious request] Adversary crafts a malicious URL request that assumes the privilege level of the server to query internal or external network services and sends the request to the application |
