GHSA-mrvx-jmjw-vggc: SearXNG MCP Server: DNS-resolved Private Hostname SSRF in `web_url_read`

June 19, 2026

The web_url_read MCP tool in mcp-searxng is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via DNS rebinding bypass. The assertUrlAllowed() function at src/url-reader.ts:85-93 validates only the syntactic hostname string against a private IP/hostname blocklist without performing DNS resolution. An attacker who controls a domain that resolves to a private or loopback IP address (e.g., via a wildcard DNS service like nip.io, or a custom DNS entry) can bypass the security check and cause the MCP server to read arbitrary internal HTTP services reachable from the server host. This allows exfiltration of sensitive data from internal services with no authentication required in the default HTTP configuration.
