CVE-2026-70667: Lemur: SSRF protection in certificate revocation checking bypassable via HTTP redirects and DNS rebinding (incomplete fix for GHSA-54vg-pfh7-jq95)

August 18, 2026

The SSRF mitigation added for GHSA-54vg-pfh7-jq95 (_validate_revocation_url() in lemur /certificates/verify.py) can be bypassed. An operator-role user who uploads a certificate with attacker-controlled CRL/OCSP extensions can still make Lemur reach internal destinations (RFC1918, loopback, link-local 169.254.169.254) during verification.
