CVE-2026-85732
oras-go is a Go library for managing OCI artifacts. Prior to 2.6.2, the parseLink function in registry/remote/utils.go accepts an absolute URL from a registry-controlled Link response header without validating its scheme, host, or port. Tags, Referrers, and Repositories pagination operations then issue a GET request to the attacker-selected URL from the victim's network, allowing blind server-side request forgery against internal services. The response body is not returned to the attacker, but timing and error differences can reveal service reachability, and credentials may be attached when the credential store has an entry for the target host. Exploitation requires a victim to perform a pagination-based listing operation against a malicious registry. The maintainer identifies this report as a duplicate of GHSA-3hr5-mjrr-hfjh and states that remediation is consolidated in that earlier advisory. The consolidated issue is fixed in version 2.6.2.
What this means for your business
- An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, without a login, but only after tricking someone into an action such as opening a file or a link.
- FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.4% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 31% of all known flaws.
What to do
- 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
