Summary

CVE-2026-24117 is a medium-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Linuxfoundation Rekor. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 26th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to CM-7 (Least Functionality) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Rekor is a software supply chain transparency log. In versions 1.4.3 and below, attackers can trigger SSRF to arbitrary internal services because /api/v1/index/retrieve supports retrieving a public key via user-provided URL. Since the SSRF only can trigger GET requests, the…

request cannot mutate state. The response from the GET request is not returned to the caller so data exfiltration is not possible. A malicious actor could attempt to probe an internal network through Blind SSRF. The issue has been fixed in version 1.5.0. To workaround this issue, disable the search endpoint with --enable_retrieve_api=false.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Validates the user-supplied URL parameter in /api/v1/index/retrieve to reject non-whitelisted or internal targets before an SSRF request is issued.

prevent

Disables the vulnerable retrieve endpoint (--enable_retrieve_api=false) so the SSRF vector is removed entirely by reducing functionality to only what is required.

prevent

Enforces outbound allow-lists or segmentation at the network boundary so even a successful blind SSRF cannot reach arbitrary internal services.
