phanan/koel
source listedECOSYSTEM: introduced 0; fixed 9.7.1
Summary Koel v9.5.0 contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the radio station creation endpoint (POST /api/radio/stations). The url field validation rules are declared without the bail keyword, so the HasAudioContentType rule — which issues HTTP requests to the supplied URL — still executes even after the SafeUrl rule has rejected the URL as pointing to a private/reserved address. Any authenticated, non-admin user can therefore coerce the server into making HEAD/GET requests to arbitrary internal hosts. This is a blind SSRF: the response body is never returned to the client, but the two distinct validation error messages form a reliable internal-network reachability oracle. Severity Medium — CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N (5.4) Authenticated (low-privilege) actor; blind SSRF (no response-body exfiltration). Confidentiality (L) reflects the internal reachability oracle; Integrity (L) reflects state-changing internal endpoints that act on GET/HEAD. Affected Component - Version: Koel v9.5.0 (latest release, HEAD b2e9a34, verified 2026-05-30) - Endpoint: POST /api/radio/stations - Files: - app/Http/Requests/API/Radio/RadioStationStoreReques

What to do next
- vendor patch
The original advisory lists fixed boundaries 9.7.1 for phanan/koel. Confirm the publisher’s latest guidance.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database via OSV
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
