CVE-2026-100849: AzuraCast is a self-hosted web radio management suite.

AzuraCast is a self-hosted web radio management suite.

AzuraCast is a self-hosted web radio management suite. In AzuraCast before 0.23.8, the station webhook URL validation in AbstractConnector::getValidUrl() (backend/src/Webhook/Connector/AbstractConnector.php), used by the Generic and Discord webhook connectors, rejects only URLs whose host is a literal link-local IP address (169.254.0.0/16 or fe80::/10). Loopback addresses and RFC1918 private ranges are not rejected, and any non-literal-IP hostname causes the IP parsing call to throw, which skips the check entirely. A user holding only the station-scoped WebHooks permission can therefore configure a webhook pointing at an internal, loopback, or private-network target and cause the server to issue an outbound HTTP POST containing the station's Now Playing data, resulting in server-side request forgery. The PUT /station/{id}/webhook/{id}/test endpoint allows the same low-privileged user to trigger the request on demand. At the time of the advisory no patched version was available.

What it means for a small business

If your business uses AzuraCast, install the vendor's update. If you're not sure whether you use it, ask whoever manages your computers.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.29%, higher than 22% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 28, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
