CVE-2026-27600 — HomeBox is a home inventory and organization system

Medium CVSS 5

HomeBox is a home inventory and organization system. Prior to 0.24.0-rc.1, the notifier functionality allows authenticated users to specify arbitrary URLs to which the application sends HTTP POST requests. No validation or restriction is applied to the supplied host, IP address, or port. Although the application does not return the response body from the target service, its UI behavior differs depending on the network state of the destination. This creates a behavioral side-channel that enables internal service enumeration. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.24.0-rc.1.

Matched remediation archetype

Server-side request forgery and unintended proxying

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Inventory server-side URL fetchers, webhooks, importers, previews, redirects, proxies, and protocol handlers reachable from untrusted input.
  • Map egress paths to internal services, metadata endpoints, loopback, private address space, and privileged control planes.
  • Review DNS resolution, redirect, proxy, credential-forwarding, and URL parsing behavior without requesting sensitive targets.

Remediate safely

  • Replace arbitrary destinations with named integrations or a strict allowlist of schemes, hosts, ports, and paths.
  • Resolve and validate every destination and redirect hop, then enforce egress policy independently of application checks.
  • Remove ambient credentials and sensitive headers from fetchers; apply response size, time, and content limits.
