CVE-2026-41105: Azure Notification Service SSRF Allows Privilege Escalation
The National Vulnerability Database has disclosed CVE-2026-41105, a high-severity server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Azure Notification Service. This flaw, carrying a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.1, allows an authorized attacker to escalate privileges over the network. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-918, which covers SSRF.
An authorized attacker leveraging this SSRF can force the Azure Notification Service to make requests on their behalf to internal or external resources. This can expose sensitive internal services, data, or allow for further network reconnaissance and lateral movement, ultimately leading to privilege escalation. The ‘authorized attacker’ prerequisite means initial access or a lower-level compromise is required, but the impact of privilege escalation is significant.
For defenders, this is a clear signal to scrutinize permissions within Azure environments, especially those granted to applications interacting with Notification Service. While specific affected products are not detailed by the National Vulnerability Database, organizations heavily reliant on Azure Notification Service for their applications should assume exposure and prioritize mitigation.
What This Means For You
- If your organization uses Azure Notification Service, you must assume exposure to CVE-2026-41105. Prioritize a review of all service principal and application permissions interacting with Notification Service. Implement strict network segmentation and egress filtering to limit potential SSRF abuse, even from authorized entities.
