CVE-2026-8034
Last modified
CVE-2026-8034 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was identified in the GitHub Enterprise Server notebook viewer that allowed an attacker to access internal services by exploiting URL parser confusion between the validation layer and the HTTP request library. The hostname validation used a different URL parser than the request library, enabling a crafted URL to pass validation while directing the request to an unintended host. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
