CVE-2026-15146: CVE-2026-15146
Advisory generated from the CVE record, CISA, Exploit Observer and VEDAS: what it is, whether it is exploited, who is affected, and how to fix and detect it.
Generated by VEDAS. Scores as of 2026-11-01 19:19 UTC. Rebuilt every few hours from cve-scores, CISA KEV and vedas-signatures. How this works and its limits.
What it is
GNU Wget versions < 1.25.0+4f85853f64 do not validate the IP address provided by an FTP PASV response while operating in FTP passive mode. A malicious FTP server, or an HTTP server that redirects to an FTP URL, can exploit this behavior to redirect Wget’s data connection to an arbitrary IP address and port. This allows an attacker to forge server-side requests (SSRF) from the machine running Wget, potentially accessing localhost services or internal network resources.
Description quoted from the CVE record (assigned by certcc, published 2026-07-10).
How it can be exploited
Exploitable with local access with low attack complexity needing no privileges and no user interaction. Impact: confidentiality low, integrity low, availability low. CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
CISA assessment (SSVC): CISA has no evidence of exploitation. Automatable: no. Technical impact: partial.
