Hollo security updates: 0.7.18, 0.8.7, and 0.9.4

If you run Hollo, update to a patched release now. CVE-2026-50131 affects Fedify's SSRF protection, and Hollo depends on Fedify for ActivityPub federation.

Fedify guards against SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) when fetching remote ActivityPub objects, documents, and media by validating that the resolved destination is a public IP address. The previous SSRF fix (GHSA-p9cg-vqcc-grcx) blocked common private and local ranges such as 10.0.0.0/8, 127.0.0.0/8, 169.254.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16, but the validation was incomplete—it still treated several special-use IPv4 ranges as public destinations that should have been rejected. These include carrier-grade NAT (100.64.0.0/10), benchmarking and internal testing networks (198.18.0.0/15), multicast (224.0.0.0/4), reserved (240.0.0.0/4), IETF protocol assignments (192.0.0.0/24), and documentation ranges (192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24, 203.0.113.0/24).

An attacker who controls a remote ActivityPub object or media URL could therefore cause a Hollo instance to initiate outbound requests to non-public or special-use network ranges, depending on the deployment environment and network routing.

For full technical details of the underlying vulnerability, see the Fedify security advisory and the Fedify security announcement.

All Hollo versions up to and including 0.7.17, 0.8.6, and 0.9.3 are affected. Patched releases are 0.7.18 for the 0.7.x series, 0.8.7 for the 0.8.x series, and 0.9.4 for the 0.9.x series.

For 0.7.x deployments, update to 0.7.18:

docker pull ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo:0.7.18

For 0.8.x deployments, update to 0.8.7:

docker pull ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo:0.8.7

For 0.9.x deployments, update to 0.9.4:

docker pull ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo:0.9.4

After pulling the new image, restart your Hollo container. If you deploy from source, pull the corresponding release tag and restart.
