Summary
CVE-2026-85612 is an unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in OpenPanel, an open-source analytics platform. The flaw resides in the /misc/favicon and /misc/og endpoints, which accept an attacker-supplied URL parameter and fetch it server-side with insufficient validation. It carries a HIGH severity rating and requires no authentication or user interaction to exploit remotely.
Technical details
- Root cause: the
/misc/faviconand/misc/ogendpoints accept a client-controlled URL parameter and issue an outbound HTTP request to it without adequate validation or blocklisting. - Trigger condition: an unauthenticated attacker submits a request to either endpoint with a URL pointing at an internal host or a cloud instance metadata endpoint.
- Attack vector: network, no privileges or user interaction required (CWE-918, Server-Side Request Forgery).
- Impact: the server-side response is returned verbatim to the attacker, enabling disclosure of internal service data, cloud metadata (e.g., instance credentials), and enumeration of internal network hosts/services.
Affected software
- OpenPanel (Openpanel-dev) — all releases prior to version 2.3.0
Severity
- CVSS v4.0 Base Score: 8.7 (HIGH) —
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N - CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 7.5 (HIGH) —
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: upgrade OpenPanel to version 2.3.0 or later, which addresses this SSRF issue.
- If patching is not immediately possible: restrict or disable outbound network access from the OpenPanel host to internal/private IP ranges and cloud metadata addresses (e.g., 169.254.169.254), and place a network-level egress filter or proxy in front of the
/misc/faviconand/misc/ogendpoints until the upgrade can be applied.
