Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 22, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

FlaskBB is a Forum Software written in Python using the micro framework Flask. Prior to version 2.2.1, a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in get_image_info() allows any authenticated user to force the server to send HTTP requests to arbitrary internal endpoints, including cloud metadata services. This is a blind SSRF with confirmed internal port scanning and internal API triggering capabilities. Version 2.2.1 patches the issue.
