CVE-2026-71271

HIGH
Published Aug 5, 2026 Modified Aug 5, 2026 CWE-918

Description

Memos' webhook URL validation, isReservedIP() (internal/webhook/validate.go), checks a candidate IP against a reservedCIDRs list that omits 0.0.0.0/8 and never calls ip.IsUnspecified() — unlike the correctly implemented sibling function isInternalIP() in internal/httpgetter/html_meta.go, which does. Because Linux redirects connections to 0.0.0.0 to loopback (127.0.0.1), an attacker registering a webhook URL of http://0.0.0.0:PORT/ bypasses the reserved-IP check and causes the Memos server to make outbound HTTP requests to its own loopback interface, exposing internal-only services.
