# MeTube: feed-metadata thumbnail fetch allows server-side request forgery

MeTube's feed-metadata thumbnail fetch code in app/ytdl.py can be made to request URLs chosen by an attacker, which is server-side request forgery. An attacker can use the server to reach internal addresses it should not reach, with difficult exploitation and a public exploit reported.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the MeTube version in use; affected releases are up to `2026.09.28`.
- Confirm whether the deployment is reachable from the internet and whether it can reach internal networks or cloud metadata endpoints.

## Fix

- Upgrade MeTube to `2026.09.29` or later (patch commit `a3896604540223ecbb8258b41b1d745d62647d16`).
- Until upgraded, restrict outbound requests from the MeTube host to internal services and metadata addresses.
