Signal K Server: Server-Side Request Forgery via Remote Connection Endpoints

CVE-2026-55591GHSA-q59x-jc9f-gfqf

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (signalk-server 2.28.0), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary signalk-server versions up to and including 2.27.0 contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in three administrative endpoints used for remote Signal K server connection management. The makeRemoteRequest() function accepts attacker-controlled host, port, useTLS, and selfsignedcert parameters without any validation, allowing an attacker to force the server to make arbitrary HTTP/HTTPS requests to internal network resources, cloud metadata services, and other unintended destinations. When security is not configured (the default state), these endpoints require no authentication. Details Vulnerable Function The core vulnerability is in makeRemoteRequest() at src/serverroutes.ts:2483-2524: Missing Validation The function performs zero validation on the destination host. The following address ranges are all reachable: - Loopback: 127.0.0.1, ::1, localhost - RFC 1918 private ranges: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16 - Link-local / Cloud metadata:…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-55591

Advisory: Signal K Server: Server-Side Request Forgery via Remote Connection Endpoints
IDs: CVE-2026-55591, GHSA-q59x-jc9f-gfqf
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-55591 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:56 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: signalk-server 2.28.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm signalk-server: affected <= 2.27.0; fixed in 2.28.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls signalk-server --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on signalk-server.
- 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.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-q59x-jc9f-gfqf (OSV record GHSA-q59x-jc9f-gfqf lists affected ranges: npm signalk-server >=0 <2.28.0 (fixed))
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-q59x-jc9f-gfqf (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-q59x-jc9f-gfqf lists affected ranges: npm signalk-server >=0 <=2.27.0)
