Description

SocialEngine versions 7.8.0 and prior contain a blind server-side request forgery vulnerability in the /core/link/preview endpoint where user-supplied input passed via the uri request parameter is not sanitized before being used to construct outbound HTTP requests. Authenticated remote attackers can supply arbitrary URLs including internal network addresses and loopback addresses to cause the server to issue HTTP requests to attacker-controlled destinations, enabling internal network enumeration and access to services not intended to be externally reachable.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is changed, meaning a successful attack can affect components beyond the vulnerable one. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity low, availability none.

Weakness class

CVE-2026-41461 is classified as CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The server fetches a URL supplied by the caller, which can be pointed at internal systems it alone can reach.
