CVE-2026-30118 — scalar/astro security vulnerability

Critical CVSS 9.8

scalar/astro v0.1.13 was discovered to contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the scalar_url query parameter of the Scalar Proxy endpoint. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to force the backend server to send HTTP requests to attacker-controlled URLs, leading to authentication cookies and headers exposure and possible privilege escalation.

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.
