Koel: Incomplete fix for CVE-2026-47260 — systemic SSRF in podcast & radio fetch paths
Koel is a free, open-source music streaming solution. Prior to 9.7.1, outbound podcast and radio fetch paths perform a point-in-time App\Helpers\Network::isPublicHost() or isSafeUrl() check without pinning the validated address, and most paths lack redirect-hop validation and do not revalidate every redirect target. PhanAn\Poddle\Poddle::fromUrl(), PodcastService::getStreamableUrl(), PodcastService::isPodcastObsolete(), App\Rules\HasAudioContentType, and App\Rules\SafeUrl can therefore follow an attacker-controlled redirect to an internal address or connect after DNS rebinding changes a public resolution to a private one. These paths are reac
Koel: Authenticated Full-Read SSRF via Subsonic Internet Radio Stations
Koel is a free, open-source music streaming solution. Prior to 9.7.0, the Subsonic-compatible createInternetRadioStation.view and updateInternetRadioStation.view routes accept an authenticated user's streamUrl without the SafeUrl and HasAudioContentType checks used by the regular radio API. app/Http/Requests/Subsonic/CreateInternetRadioStationRequest.php and app/Http/Requests/Subsonic/UpdateInternetRadioStationRequest.php pass the stored URL through app/Services/RadioService.php to app/Services/Radio/RadioStreamProxy.php, where RadioStreamProxy::openStream() calls fopen($url, 'r', false, $context). Streaming /radio/stream/{id} returns the ups
Koel: Full-read SSRF via podcast enclosure URL: isPublicHost() filter_var guard does not reject NAT64 (64:ff9b::/96) or 6to4 (2002::/16) IPv6-transition wrappers of internal IPv4
Koel is a free, open-source music streaming solution. Prior to 9.7.1, App\Helpers\Network::isPublicHost() uses filter_var() with FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE and FILTER_FLAG_NO_RES_RANGE, which treats NAT64 64:ff9b::/96 and 6to4 2002::/16 wrappers of private, loopback, or link-local IPv4 addresses as public. An authenticated user can place such an address in a podcast RSS <enclosure url> and reach app/Values/Podcast/EpisodePlayable.php through EpisodePlayable::createForEpisode(), where isSafeUrl() accepts the target and Http::sink($file)->get($url) fetches it. On a host with NAT64 or 6to4 routing, Koel can request internal services or cloud meta
Koel: Authenticated Blind SSRF via Subsonic Podcast Channel Creation
Koel is a free, open-source music streaming solution. Prior to 9.7.0, the Subsonic-compatible createPodcastChannel.view route accepts an authenticated user's private URL because app/Http/Requests/Subsonic/CreatePodcastChannelRequest.php does not apply the SafeUrl validation used by the regular podcast API. app/Http/Controllers/Subsonic/CreatePodcastChannelController.php passes the URL to app/Services/Podcast/PodcastService.php, where PodcastService::addPodcast() and createParser() invoke Poddle::fromUrl() during channel creation, causing immediate server-side requests to loopback, Docker bridge, or RFC1918 HTTP destinations. The confirmed imp
Koel has SSRF through Authenticated Subsonic podcast feed URLs
## Summary
Koel's Subsonic `createPodcastChannel.view` endpoint accepts a user supplied podcast feed URL and fetches it server-side before applying the safe URL checks that are used for podcast episode enclosure URLs. An authenticated Subsonic API user can provide a loopback or internal URL as the feed URL and cause the Koel backend to issue a request to that address.
A related redirect gap exists in the podcast stream helper: `PodcastService::getStreamableUrl()` validates only the original URL, then lets Guzzle follow redirects and accepts the final redirected URL without re-validating it.

Koel: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in radio station creation due to missing validation bail
Koel is a free, open-source music streaming solution. Prior to version 9.7.1, Koel contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the radio station creation endpoint (POST /api/radio/stations). The url field validation rules are declared without the bail keyword, so the HasAudioContentType rule — which issues HTTP requests to the supplied URL — still executes even after the SafeUrl rule has rejected the URL as pointing to a private/reserved address. Any authenticated, non-admin user can therefore coerce the server into making HEAD/GET requests to arbitrary internal hosts. This issue has been patched in version 9.7.1.
Koel Vulnerable to SSRF via Podcast Episode Enclosure URLs
Koel is a free, open-source music streaming solution. Prior to version 9.3.5, Koel validates the podcast feed URL via the SafeUrl rule (DNS resolution + public IP check), but the individual episode <enclosure url="..."> values extracted from the RSS XML are stored directly into the database without any SSRF validation. When a user plays an episode, the server downloads the full HTTP response from the unvalidated enclosure URL via Http::sink()->get() and streams it back to the user, enabling full-read SSRF against internal services. This issue has been patched in version 9.3.5.
Koel before 5.1.4 lacks login throttling, lacks a password strength policy, and shows whether a failed login attempt had a valid username. This might make brute-force attacks easier.
