CVE-2026-50151 is a high-severity server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in oras.land/oras-go/v2 (go), affecting versions < 2.6.1. It is fixed in 2.6.1.
Summary oras-go follows a registry-controlled Location header during the monolithic blob upload flow and reuses the Authorization header from the initial POST request for the subsequent PUT request. If a malicious registry returns a cross-host Location, oras-go can send the caller's credentials to an attacker-controlled endpoint. Affected Versions tested: v2.6.0 (commit 03243809936cce826494b5506f724c6dc11115b1, as-of 2026-01-24) range: unknown; likely affects earlier v2.x releases that include the same upload flow Impact Credential leak to an attacker-controlled endpoint and client-side ssrf to a cross-host target. Affected Component registry/remote/repository.go:878-916 (blobStore.completePushAfterInitialPost) Reproduction Attachments include poc.zip with a local-only harness (no real registry required). It runs a fake registry server that returns a cross-host Location and a second server that records whether it received Authorization. Recommended Fix validate Location before uploading (scheme + hostname + effective port) against the original request, or require an explicit opt-in allowlist for cross-host upload urls never forward Authorization when the upload target changes host or scheme references security policy: https://github.com/oras-project/oras-go/security/policy vulnerable code: registry/remote/repository.go (see blobStore.completePushAfterInitialPost)
Untrusted input controls the target URL of a server-initiated request, which may reach internal services not otherwise accessible from outside. Typical impact: access to internal metadata services, internal APIs, or cloud credentials.
CVE-2026-50151 has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.
A fixed version is available (2.6.1). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.
go
oras.land/oras-go/v2 (< 2.6.1)oras.land/oras-go/v2 → 2.6.1 (go)Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.
Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2026-50151 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

Yes. CVE-2026-50151 is fixed in 2.6.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
Whether CVE-2026-50151 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns.

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
Upgrade oras.land/oras-go/v2 to 2.6.1 or later.
