How to Fix CVE-2026-44797
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Nautobot dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install nautobot>=3.1.2
pip install nautobot>=2.4.33
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show nautobot
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2026-44797, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show nautobot
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Nautobot in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.1.2), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show nautobot command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In Nautobot, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"details" : "### Impact\n\nNautobot's `Webhook` data model and associated feature set could be configured by users with sufficient access to perform requests to various hosts and IP addresses that should not be permitted, allowing for various behaviors similar to server-side request forgery (SSRF).\n\n### Patches\n\nFixes are available in Nautobot v2.4.33 and v3.1.2.\n\nIn support of this fix, three new settings variables have been added to Nautobot:\n\n- `WEBHOOK_ALLOWED_SCHEMES` - By default new or updated `Webhook` records will be restricted to HTTP or HTTPS only, disallowing other schemes that may have been previously allowed. Administrators should audit existing `Webhook` records to identify any that are invalid, and either update/delete said records or customize `WEBHOOK_ALLOWED_SCHEMES` as appropriate.\n- `WEBHOOK_ADDITIONAL_BLOCKED_NETWORKS` - This can be used to specify additional IP networks that should be denied to `Webhook` sending, for example some deployments may wish to disallow RFC1918 addresses or even disallow all networks and carve out specific exemptions using the following setting.\n- `WEBHOOK_ALLOWED_HOSTS` - This can be used to provide an allow-list of specific hosts that would otherwise be blocked by any `WEBHOOK_ADDITIONAL_BLOCKED_NETWORKS` configuration.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nAdministrators should review which users have been granted `add` or `change` permissions for the `Webhook` data model, and should review currently defined `Webhook` records for safety and validity. Other than that, no specific workaround has been identified.\n\n### References\n\n- 2.4.33 (<a href=\"https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot/commit/16aa4aa9796ab7a31c4d615ec945e1f16d8c77c4\">patch</a>)\n- 3.1.2 (<a href=\"https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot/commit/7324c8f0d8c7245fbc691e15d729adc2d2707d08\">patch</a>)",
