CVE-2026-8081
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 · uneditedA vulnerability has been found in router-for-me CLIProxyAPI 6.9.29. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file internal/api/handlers/management/api_tools.go of the component API Interface. The manipulation of the argument url leads to server-side request forgery. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 confidenceServer-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in router-for-me CLIProxyAPI 6.9.29 within the API Interface component (internal/api/handlers/management/api_tools.go). The url parameter is not properly validated, allowing an attacker to manipulate the server into making arbitrary HTTP requests to internal or external resources.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed version of Router For Me CliproxyapiRun the CLI tool with version flag (e.g., router-for-me cliproxyapi --version or -v) or check the binary/application metadataAffected if The installed version is exactly 6.9.29
-
Confirm the API Interface component is accessibleAttempt to access the internal API endpoint at internal/api/handlers/management/api_tools.go or verify the management API service is running and reachableAffected if The API Interface component is enabled and responds to requests
-
Verify the management API endpoint accepts a url parameterSend a test request to the relevant API endpoint with a url parameter (e.g., GET /api/management/tools?url=http://example.com) and observe if the server processes itAffected if The url parameter is accepted without strict validation or allowlist filtering
-
Check if outbound HTTP requests can be triggeredSend a request with an internal URL (e.g., http://localhost, http://127.0.0.1) or an external URL as the url parameter value and verify if the server makes the requestAffected if The server successfully makes HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs provided in the url parameter
You are affected if Router For Me Cliproxyapi version 6.9.29 is installed and the API Interface management endpoint is enabled, allowing arbitrary URL manipulation through the unvalidated url parameter.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedImplement strict allowlist-based URL validation and input sanitization for the url parameter. Consider network segmentation to limit the impact of SSRF and restrict outbound connections from the server.
- No vendor-provided fix or patch information is available in the referenced sources.
- The vendor was contacted but did not respond to the disclosure.
- Consider reaching out to the vendor directly for status updates on a potential fix.
- If possible, review the code in internal/api/handlers/management/api_tools.go to implement input validation on the url parameter to mitigate SSRF.
- Implement allowlist-based validation for the url parameter to restrict requests to trusted domains/IPs.
- Apply network segmentation to limit the impact of potential SSRF exploitation.
