CVE-2026-42592: Gotenberg's DNS rebinding bypasses SSRF validation on Chromium URL conversion routes
(updated )
FilterOutboundURL resolves the hostname, checks the resolved IPs against the private-address deny-list, and returns only the error. It discards the resolved addresses. Chromium later performs its own DNS resolution when it navigates to the URL. An attacker who controls DNS for a hostname with a short TTL returns a public IP on the first query (Gotenberg allows) and a private IP on the second query (Chromium connects to the attacker-chosen internal address). The CDP Fetch.requestPaused handler re-checks the URL but runs its own DNS resolution, leaving a timing window before Chromium’s actual TCP connect. The rendered internal service response returns to the caller as a PDF.
