WeasyPrint Vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Protection Bypass via HTTP Redirect
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.70% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 52.3% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: weasyprint (Debian:14) 69.0-1; python-weasyprint (openSUSE:Leap 16.0) 65.1-bp160.2.1; python-weasyprint (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 68.0-1.1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to weasyprint (Debian:14) 69.0-1; python-weasyprint (openSUSE:Leap 16.0) 65.1-bp160.2.1; python-weasyprint (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 68.0-1.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
WeasyPrint helps web developers to create PDF documents. Prior to version 68.0, a server-side request forgery (SSRF) protection bypass exists in WeasyPrint's `default_url_fetcher`. The vulnerability allows attackers to access internal network resources (such as `localhost` services or cloud metadata endpoints) even when a developer has implemented a custom `url_fetcher` to block such access. This occurs because the underlying `urllib` library follows HTTP redirects automatically without re-validating the new destination against the developer's security policy. Version 68.0 contains a patch for the issue.
