Live › vulnerability › CVE-2026-118766
Botan's online OCSP client follows one HTTP redirect when posting to a certificate's OCSP responder URI. A malicious responder or on-path attacker can make the client send one blind request to an internal HTTP service that is otherwise unreachable.

Applications that link Botan older than 3.13.0 and perform online OCSP checks, where the OCSP URI comes from a certificate that may be attacker-controlled. The risk is blind server-side request forgery against internal HTTP services that are reachable from the application host but not from the internet. Teams not using Botan's online OCSP client, or running a fixed version, can skip it.

Botan is a C++ cryptography library. Prior to 3.13.0, Botan's online OCSP client allowed a single HTTP redirect while posting an OCSP request to the URI in a certificate's Authority Information Access extension. A malicious OCSP responder or an on-path attacker could redirect the client to make one blind request to an otherwise unreachable internal HTTP service. The primary impact is blind SSRF that might affect internal services with non-idempotent GET handlers, and response timing can provide a coarse internal-service oracle. This issue is fixed in version 3.13.0.
