CVE-2026-42141
CWE-918Published: May 12, 2026· Updated: May 13, 2026
Official Description
Xibo is an open source digital signage platform with a web content management system and Windows display player software. Prior to 4.4.1, an authenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the Xibo CMS allows users with Library upload permissions to make arbitrary HTTP requests from the CMS server to internal or external network resources. This can be exploited to scan internal infrastructure, access local cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., AWS IMDS), interact with internal services that lack authentication, or exfiltrate data. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.4.1.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-42141 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 7.7.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
