AzuraCast: Server-Side Request Forgery
CVE-2026-100848 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in AzuraCast, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 0.23.8 as the first without the flaw, so updating AzuraCast to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update AzuraCast to 0.23.8 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.

Official description
AzuraCast (Composer package azuracast/azuracast) before 0.23.8 validates a station's "Remote Relay" URL only for URL syntax and an http/https scheme (Utilities\Urls::parseUserUrl, used by StationRemote::getUrlAsUri) and performs no host or IP address restriction. A user holding only the station-scoped RemoteRelays permission can therefore set a Remote Relay URL pointing at loopback, private-network, or cloud-metadata addresses (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:<port>/ or http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/), and AzuraCast's periodic background Now Playing sync (AbstractRemote::getNowPlayingAsync) will automatically and repeatedly issue HTTP requests to that address, resulting in server-side request forgery against internal resources. This affects the main branch as of commit bcf8754eef3a268ad82c3db4d81f7920c3c28b56 (2026-07-31); no patched version is available at the time of the advisory.

The underlying weakness: Server-Side Request Forgery
The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If there is a known list of applications, IP, hostname, and/or domains to which the product is allowed to communicate, then use allowlists to ensure that outgoing requests are restricted to these known entities. The allowlists could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
- If the product is expected to be able to connect to arbitrary IP addresses or domains, consider using a denylist that includes private network addresses, internal domain names, etc. The denylist could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
