wget: GNU Wget is vulnerable to an SSRF attack when accessing partially-user-controlled shorthand URLs
Applications that use Wget to access a remote resource using shorthand URLs and pass arbitrary user credentials in the URL are vulnerable. In these cases attackers can enter crafted credentials which will cause Wget to access an arbitrary host.
A flaw was found in the Wget package. Wget might issue an FTP request to a different host in configurations where the HTTP shorthand format is used with user-provided input. An attacker may be able to use specially crafted input to cause Wget to access an arbitrary host.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
