PhpSpreadsheet is a pure PHP library for reading and writing spreadsheet files. In versions 4.0.0 through 5.8.0, 3.3.0 through 3.10.6, 2.2.0 through 2.4.6, 2.0.0 through 2.1.17, and all releases up to and including 1.30.5, the WEBSERVICE() domain whitelist can be bypassed via an HTTP redirect (SSRF). In Calculation/Web/Service.php, the webService() method validates a URL's host against the whitelist set via Spreadsheet::setDomainWhiteList(), then fetches content with file_get_contents($url, false, $ctx); because PHP's HTTP stream wrapper follows 301/302 redirects automatically (up to 20 hops) and the redirect target is never re-validated, an attacker who can trigger a redirect from a whitelisted domain can reach arbitrary URLs, including internal addresses. An attacker able to upload XLSX files to an application that uses setDomainWhiteList() and getCalculatedValue() can achieve a full-read SSRF, returning up to 32,767 bytes of the response body as a cell's calculated value, which enables exfiltration of cloud metadata (AWS/GCP/Azure credentials via http://169.254.169.254/), access to internal-only services, and internal port scanning (the port is not validated). This issue has been fixed in versions 5.8.1, 3.10.7, 2.4.7, 2.1.18, and 1.30.6.

PHPSpreadsheet: SSRF bypass via HTTP redirect in WEBSERVICE() domain whitelist

CVE-2026-59931 [HIGH] CWE-918 PHPSpreadsheet: SSRF bypass via HTTP redirect in WEBSERVICE() domain whitelist
PHPSpreadsheet: SSRF bypass via HTTP redirect in WEBSERVICE() domain whitelist
### Summary
The domain whitelist introduced in PhpSpreadsheet 5.4.0 for the `WEBSERVICE()` formula function can be bypassed via HTTP redirect. The whitelist validates only the initial URL's hostname, but `file_get_contents()` follows 302/301 redirects by default without re-validating the redirect target against the whitelist. This allows an attacker to reach internal services through a whitelisted domain that issues an HTTP redirect.
### Details
In `Calculation/Web/Service.php`, the `webService()` method validates the URL's host against a domain whitelist set via `Spreadsheet::setDomainWhiteList()`. If the host passes validation, the method calls `file_get_contents($url, false, $ctx)` to fetch the content.
