CRITICALSoft Serve is vulnerable to SSRF through its Webhooks
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
SUMMARY
We have identified and verified an SSRF vulnerability where webhook URLs are not validated, allowing repository administrators to create webhooks targeting internal services, private networks, and cloud metadata endpoints.
AFFECTED COMPONENTS (VERIFIED)
- Webhook Creation (pkg/ssh/cmd/webhooks.go:125)
- Backend CreateWebhook (pkg/backend/webhooks.go:17)
- Backend UpdateWebhook (pkg/backend/webhooks.go:122)
- Webhook Delivery (pkg/webhook/webhook.go:97)
IMPACT
This vulnerability allows repository administrators to perform SSRF attacks, potentially enabling:
a) Cloud Metadata Theft - Access AWS/Azure/GCP credentials via 169.254.169.254 b) Internal Network Access - Target localhost and private networks (10.x, 192.168.x, 172.16.x) c) Port Scanning - Enumerate internal services via response codes and timing d) Data Exfiltration - Full HTTP responses stored in webhook delivery logs e) Internal API Access - Call internal admin panels and Kubernetes endpoints
PROOF OF CONCEPT
Simple example demonstrating localhost access:
ssh localhost webhook create my-repo http://127.0.0.1:8080/internal \
--events push --active
then push to trigger.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve to 0.11.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vwq2-jx9q-9h9f is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-vwq2-jx9q-9h9f is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-vwq2-jx9q-9h9f. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-vwq2-jx9q-9h9f in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-vwq2-jx9q-9h9f across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
