Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Rembg is a tool to remove images background. In Rembg 2.0.57 and earlier, the /api/remove endpoint takes a URL query parameter that allows an image to be fetched, processed and returned. An attacker may be able to query this endpoint to view pictures hosted on the internal network of the rembg server. This issue may lead to Information Disclosure.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2025-25301

Advisory: Rembg allows SSRF via /api/remove
IDs: CVE-2025-25301, GHSA-r5gx-c49x-h878
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2025-25301 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:31 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.9)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI rembg: affected <= 2.0.57

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show rembg`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on rembg.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
