Weblate Weblate vulnerabilities

Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to version 5.17.1, the Markdown renderer used in user comments and other user-provided content didn't properly sanitize some attributes. This issue has been patched in version 5.17.1.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to version 5.17.1, the screenshots, tasks, and component link API allowed for the enumeration of translations in a project inaccessible to the user. This issue has been patched in version 5.17.1.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to version 5.17.1, when a user changes their password, browser sessions are correctly invalidated via "cycle_session_keys()", but DRF API tokens ("wlu_*" prefix) stored in "authtoken_token" are not revoked. This issue has been patched in version 5.17.1.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, repository-boundary validation relies on string prefix checks on resolved absolute paths. In multiple code paths, the check uses startswith against the repository root path. This is not path-segment aware and can be bypassed when the external path shares the same string prefix as the repository path (for example, repo and repo_outside). This issue has been fixed in version 5.17.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the webhook add-on did not utilize existing SSRF protections. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17. If developers are unable to update immediately, they can disable the webhook add-on as a workaround.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, a user with the project.edit permission (granted by the per-project "Administration" role) can configure machine translation service URLs pointing to arbitrary internal network addresses. During configuration validation, Weblate makes an HTTP request to the attacker-controlled URL and reflects up to 200 characters of the response body back to the user in an error message. This constitutes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) with partial response read. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17. If developers are unable to immediately upgrade, they can limit available machinery services via WEBLATE_MACHINERY setting.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the ALLOWED_ASSET_DOMAINS setting applied only to the first issued requests and didn't restrict possible redirects. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the translation memory API exposed unintended endpoints, which in turn didn't perform proper access control. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17. If developers are unable to update immediately, they can disable this feature as the CDN add-on is not enabled by default.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.17, the translation memory API exposed unintended endpoints, which in turn didn't enforce proper access control. This issue has been fixed in version 5.17. If users are unable to update immediately, they can work around this issue by blocking access to /api/memory/ in the HTTP server, which removes access to this feature.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. Prior to version 5.16.1, the REST API's `AddonViewSet` (`weblate/api/views.py`, line 2831) uses `queryset = Addon.objects.all()` without overriding `get_queryset()` to scope results by user permissions. This allows any authenticated user (or anonymous users if `REQUIRE_LOGIN` is not set) to list and retrieve ALL addons across all projects and components via `GET /api/addons/` and `GET /api/addons/{id}/`. Version 5.16.1 fixes the issue.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.15.1, it was possible to read arbitrary files from the server file system using crafted symbolic links in the repository. Version 5.15.1 fixes the issue.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.15, it was possible to retrieve user notification settings or list all users via API. Version 5.15 fixes the issue.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. In versions prior to 5.15, it was possible to trigger repository updates for many repositories via a crafted webhook payload. Version 5.15 fixes the issue. As a workaround, disabling webhooks completely using ENABLE_HOOKS avoids this vulnerability.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. The Create Component functionality in Weblate allows authorized users to add new translation components by specifying both a version control system and a source code repository URL to pull from. However, prior to version 5.15, the repository URL field is not validated or sanitized, allowing an attacker to supply arbitrary protocols, hostnames, and IP addresses, including localhost, internal network addresses, and local filenames. When the Mercurial version control system is selected, Weblate exposes the full server-side HTTP response for the provided URL. This effectively creates a server-side request forgery (SSRF) primitive that can probe internal services and return their contents. In addition to accessing internal HTTP endpoints, the behavior also enables local file enumeration by attempting file:// requests. While file contents may not always be returned, the application’s error messages clearly differentiate between files that exist and files that do not, revealing information about the server’s filesystem layout. In cloud environments, this behavior is particularly dangerous, as internal-only endpoints such as cloud metadata services may be accessible, potentially leading to credential disclosure and full environment compromise. This has been addressed in the Weblate 5.15 release. As a workaround, remove Mercurial from `VCS_BACKENDS`; the Git backend is not affected. The Git backend was already configured to block the file protocol and does not expose the HTTP response content in the error message.

Weblate is a web based localization tool. An open redirect exists in versions 5.13.2 and below via the redir parameter on .within.website when Weblate is configured with Anubis and REDIRECT_DOMAINS is not set. An attacker can craft a URL on the legitimate domain that redirects a victim to an attacker-controlled site. The redirect can also be used to initiate drive-by downloads (redirecting to a URL that serves a malicious file), increasing the risk to end users. This issue is fixed in version 5.13.3.
