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
Linkwarden is a self-hosted, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive webpages. Prior to version 2.13.0, a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the fetchTitleAndHeaders function allows authenticated users to make arbitrary HTTP requests to internal services due to insufficient URL validation that only checks for "http://" or "https://" prefixes. This issue has been patched in version 2.13.0.

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

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Linkwarden's fetchTitleAndHeaders function allows authenticated users to make arbitrary HTTP requests to internal services due to insufficient URL validation that only checks for 'http://' or 'https://' prefixes, enabling potential access to internal infrastructure.

MitigationUpgrade to version 2.13.0 or later which contains proper URL validation. Until then, restrict access to authenticated users only and consider network-level segmentation to limit exposure to internal services.

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. Identify Linkwarden installation and version
    Check the installed version by inspecting package.json, Docker image tags, or the /api/health endpoint if available. Common paths: /app/package.json or check the running container image tag.
    Affected if The installed version is any release prior to 2.13.0 (e.g., 2.12.0, 2.11.0, older).
  2. Verify fetchTitleAndHeaders feature is in use
    This function is invoked when adding or editing links to automatically fetch page titles. Check if link creation/editing functionality is enabled in the instance.
    Affected if Users can add, edit, or import links through the web interface or API, which triggers the vulnerable function.
  3. Confirm user authentication is enabled
    Check the Linkwarden authentication settings or user database to confirm that user registration or login is enabled. The vulnerability requires an authenticated user.
    Affected if User accounts exist or self-registration is permitted, allowing authenticated access to link management features.

You are affected if Linkwarden version is below 2.13.0, user authentication is enabled, and users can add or edit links which triggers the fetchTitleAndHeaders function.
