Prior to 1.8.40, the remote requests feature does not correctly handle IPv6 addresses, resulting in a server-side request forgery vulnerability. The default disallowed remote hosts list does not include IPv6 addresses. Verification in fetch_remote_file() fails open when get_ip_by_hostname() returns no result because that function does not return IPv6 results, allowing a crafted remote target to bypass the host restriction. The uniquely identifying implementation details include fail-open verification, and inc/functions.php. This issue is fixed in version 1.8.40.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":4.3},"cwes":["CWE-918"],"references":["https://github.com/mybb/mybb/commit/9cdadbf66f4cef50019f13aaa8e3470ea6535cb7","https://github.com/mybb/mybb/releases/tag/mybb_1840","https://github.com/mybb/mybb/security/advisories/GHSA-56wr-64wx-5g7j","https://mybb.com/versions/1.8.40"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:49:10.689564601+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-45123","score":0.00367,"percentile":0.30608,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
