Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Wallos is an open-source, self-hostable personal subscription tracker. In versions 4.8.4 and prior, the webhook notification feature reuses an administrator-configured local-target allowlist for every logged-in user. Any normal user can fully control a webhook URL, headers, and body, then use Wallos to send server-side requests to allowlisted internal automation services. When such a target exposes deployment or execution APIs, this can further enable adjacent-service RCE, but that downstream result is conditional on the target service. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Wallos versions 4.8.4 and prior have an authorization bypass in the webhook notification feature where the administrator-configured local-target allowlist is reused for all logged-in users. Any authenticated user can fully control the webhook URL, headers, and body, enabling them to send server-side requests from the Wallos application to internal automation services that are allowlisted by the administrator. This creates a SSRF-like vector to internal services, potentially leading to adjacent-service RCE if those services expose deployment or execution APIs.

MitigationRestrict webhook functionality to administrator accounts only, or implement per-user authorization checks that prevent normal users from targeting internal/allowlisted addresses regardless of user-controllable URL, headers, and body parameters.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine Wallos installation version
    Locate the Wallos application and identify its version number (typically found in about page, composer.json, or version file within the application directory)
    Affected if Installed version is 4.8.4 or prior
  2. Verify webhook notification feature exists
    Access the Wallos administrative interface and navigate to notification or webhook settings to confirm the feature is present and configurable
    Affected if Webhook notification feature is present and accessible to non-administrator users
  3. Check user role permissions for webhooks
    Log in as a non-administrator user account and attempt to access or configure webhook notifications; verify if the admin-defined allowlist is accessible or applied to your session
    Affected if Non-administrator users can access webhook configuration or trigger webhooks using admin-defined allowlisted targets
  4. Inspect allowlist configuration
    Examine the webhook settings where administrators define local-target allowlists; determine if this allowlist applies globally to all authenticated users regardless of role
    Affected if The allowlist is shared across all users without per-user authorization enforcement

A user is affected if running Wallos version 4.8.4 or prior AND the webhook notification feature allows any authenticated user to leverage the administrator-configured allowlist for targeting internal services.

Mitigation

Restrict webhook functionality to administrator accounts only, or implement per-user authorization checks that prevent normal users from targeting internal/allowlisted addresses regardless of user-controllable URL, headers, and body parameters.
