Description

Rowboat through 0.9.1 fails to validate custom MCP server and webhook URLs, allowing authenticated users to configure arbitrary destinations. Attackers can point these URLs at internal services and cloud metadata endpoints to perform server-side request forgery and enumerate internal network topology.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-86122 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Rowboat through version 0.9.1. It allows authenticated users to configure custom MCP server and webhook URLs without proper validation. Attackers can point these URLs at internal services or cloud metadata endpoints to perform SSRF and enumerate internal network topology.

Detection Guidance

Check Rowboat logs for outbound connections to unexpected internal or cloud metadata endpoints. Monitor network traffic for HTTP/HTTPS requests originating from Rowboat to restricted IP ranges or loopback addresses. Review configured custom MCP server and webhook URLs in Rowboat settings for unauthorized or suspicious destinations.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability enables attackers to direct server requests to internal services, exposing internal network topology and potentially accessing sensitive data. It could also lead to unauthorized actions via manipulated webhook payloads, such as data exfiltration or command execution.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR's data protection principles and HIPAA's security requirements. Exposure of internal services may also result in non-compliance with data confidentiality and integrity standards.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Rowboat to a patched version that validates URLs against private, loopback, and link-local IP ranges. Restrict user permissions to prevent unauthorized URL configuration. Implement network-level controls to block outbound requests from Rowboat to internal services or cloud metadata endpoints.
