Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Home Assistant versions before 2026.2.3 are vulnerable to a server-side request forgery through the IPP integration's automatic mDNS discovery of _ipp._tcp.local services. An unauthenticated attacker on the same local network can send a crafted mDNS response that makes Home Assistant send HTTP requests, including redirected requests, to arbitrary hosts such as localhost-bound internal services. Upgrade to Home Assistant 2026.2.3 or later, which blocks redirects from non-loopback hosts to loopback addresses.
