terriajs-servernpmDescription
Impact
A validation bug allows an attacker to proxy domains not explicitly allowed in the proxyableDomains configuration.
The validation only checks if a hostname ended with an allowed domain. This meant:
If example.com is allowed in proxyableDomains:
- ✅ example.com is allowed (correct)
- ✅ api.example.com is allowed (correct)
- ⚠️ maliciousexample.com is allowed (incorrect)
An attacker could register maliciousexample.com and proxy content through terriajs-server, bypassing proxy restrictions.
Patches
All versions up to 4.0.2 are affected. Upgrade to 4.0.3 to address the vulnerability.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for terriajs-server, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update terriajs-server to 4.0.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-27818 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Restrict outbound requests from the affected component to an allowlist of hosts, block access to link-local and internal address ranges at the network layer, and require authentication on internal services so a forged request cannot reach them unauthenticated.
