CVE-2026-5936
CWE-918Published: April 13, 2026· Updated: Apr 13, 2026
Official Description
An attacker can control a server-side HTTP request by supplying a crafted URL, causing the server to initiate requests to arbitrary destinations. This behavior may be exploited to probe internal network services, access otherwise unreachable endpoints (e.g., cloud metadata services), or bypass network access controls, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure and further compromise of the internal environment.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-5936 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 8.5.
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.
