## What is CVE-2026-54353?

CVE-2026-54353 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in budibase, published on 26 Jun 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 3.39.9, authenticated users with automation permissions can bypass Budibase's SSRF blacklist through DNS rebinding. The outbound fetch flow validates a hostname against the blacklist before the request is sent, but the actual socket connection later performs a separate DNS lookup through node-fetch. Since the validated IPs are never pinned to the connection, an attacker-controlled hostname can return a public IP during validation and a private/internal IP during the real connection. This results in a non-blind SSRF primitive against internal services reachable from the Budibase host, including loopback, RFC1918 ranges, and cloud metadata endpoints. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.39.9.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), CWE-367 (Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-54353 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-54353 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in budibase, published on 26 Jun 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-54353 exists.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- @budibase/backend-core (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 3.39.9
- @budibase/backend-core (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 3.39.9

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.
