OpenCVE Security Update Addresses 1 Vulnerability
Tech GuruQuick Answer
OpenCVE before 3.0.0 allows a user with notification-configuration permission to direct Webhook or Slack test requests to destinations reachable by the server, including internal services. Update to 3.0.0 or later. This is an authenticated notification-testing SSRF issue, not an unrestricted public proxy.
Confirm Scope And Apply The Supported Fix
What to do now: Inventory OpenCVE versions, notification-channel permissions and outbound network access. Plan the supported 3.0.0 migration and restrict notification testing or egress until it is complete.

What Changed
The vulnerable test function accepts HTTP(S) destinations without sufficient validation. It can expose responses from localhost, private networks or cloud metadata reachable by OpenCVE. Version 3.0.0 adds destination validation for these non-public ranges; the network access of the actual application determines what the vulnerable path can reach.
What To Validate Now
- Inventory. Locate OpenCVE packages and release streams identified in the project advisories deployments, versions, enabled features, exposure paths, owners, and dependent services.
- Establish applicability. Use the project's current before 3.0.0 affected range, not the narrower 1.5.0 boundary previously quoted here. Identify users able to configure and test Webhook or Slack notifications.
- Remediate. Apply opencve 3.0.0 through the supported vendor or project channel, following the current advisory and change-control requirements.
- Validate. Verify the deployed version, authorized external notification delivery and rejection of controlled non-public destinations in an isolated environment. Do not test against real metadata services or unrelated internal systems.
- Retain evidence. Preserve asset and owner identifiers, the applicability decision, before-and-after versions, change approval, installation output, validation results, and any exception or rollback record.
Operational Cautions
The project recommends trusted-destination egress restrictions or disabling access to notification testing when upgrade is not yet possible. Coordinate these controls with required notification traffic and follow the supported major-version migration path; no migration was tested here.
Evidence To Retain
- Exact product, release stream, package or application version, enabled feature, environment, and accountable owner.
- UTC timestamps, authority revision, approved change record, installer or package-manager output, and resulting version.
- Relevant logs and monitoring evidence, test results, exceptions, compensating controls, and rollback decisions.
