CVE-2026-73247: Kestra: SSRF via Pebble http() function allows unauthenticated access to internal services & cloud metadata

September 17, 2026

The Pebble template engine’s http() function in Kestra OSS accepts user-controlled URLs without any validation, allowing Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. An unauthenticated attacker can import a malicious Flow YAML and execute it to access internal services, cloud metadata endpoints (AWS 169.254.169.254), or localhost services. The vulnerability affects all Kestra OSS deployments with default configuration.
