## What is CVE-2026-48148?

CVE-2026-48148 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in budibase, published on 27 May 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to 3.35.3,  the VectorDB configuration endpoint in Budibase accepts a host parameter that undergoes no validation against internal IP ranges, reserved hostnames, or URL schemes. Any authenticated user with builder-level access can supply an arbitrary host value such as 169.254.169.254 or localhost, causing the server to initiate outbound TCP connections to internal network addresses or cloud metadata endpoints on their behalf.This vulnerability is fixed in 3.35.3.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery)

- @budibase/server (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 3.35.3

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
