Report: CVE-2026-42181 - Lemmy: SSRF and internal image disclosure in post link metadata via unvalidated
CVE ID :CVE-2026-42181 Published : May 8, 2026, 8:16 p.m. | 1 hour, 23 minutes ago Description :Lemmy is a link aggregator and forum for the fediverse. Prior to version 0.19.18, Lemmy fetches metadata for user-supplied post URLs and, under the default StoreLinkPreviews image mode, downloads the preview image through local pict-rs. While the top-level page URL is checked against internal IP ranges, the extracted og:image URL is not subject to the same restriction. As a result, an authenticated low-privileged user can submit an attacker-controlled public page whose Open Graph image points to an internal image endpoint. Lemmy will fetch that internal image server-side and store a local thumbnail that can then be served back to users. This issue has been patched in version 0.19.18.
