CVE-2026-44502
CWE-918Published: May 26, 2026· Updated: May 26, 2026
Official Description
Bugsink is a self-hosted error tracking tool. Prior to 2.1.3, Bugsink’s webhook URL validation could be (partially) bypassed because of a mismatch in URL parsing. The original validation logic parsed webhook URLs with Python’s urllib.parse.urlparse, then sent the request with requests.post. For malformed inputs involving backslashes and @, those components can disagree about where the authority ends and which hostname is the real target. A URL may therefore appear to target an allowlisted public hostname during validation, while the HTTP client actually connects to a different host. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.3.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-44502 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.
