CVE-2026-56285
Nitter's /video media proxy endpoint fails to validate target URLs against Twitter/X domains and uses a hardcoded default HMAC key, allowing unauthenticated attackers to compute valid HMACs for arbitrary URLs. Attackers can retrieve HTTP responses from any host reachable by the server, including cloud metadata services and internal network resources.
