CVE-2026-48053: Kolibri has Unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in RemoteFacilityUserViewset

June 11, 2026

Several Kolibri API endpoints accept an unvalidated baseurl parameter and fetch attacker-controlled URLs from the Kolibri server, reflecting the response body back to the caller. The original report identified two endpoints on the RemoteFacilityUser* viewsets; remediation review found two further reflection points on the same pattern. The GET endpoint was unauthenticated.

The RemoteFacilityUserViewset API endpoint (/api/auth/remotefacilityuser) has no authentication or permission checks and accepts a user-controlled baseurl parameter. This parameter is passed directly to NetworkClient.build_for_address() which makes server-side HTTP requests to the attacker-specified URL. An unauthenticated attacker can force the Kolibri server to reach out to arbitrary internal hosts, port-scan internal networks, and access cloud metadata endpoints.
