CVE-2026-55166 affects Netflix Lemur versions prior to 1.9.2. The vulnerability includes a server-side request forgery condition in Lemur's ACME authority handling that allows an authenticated user to influence the ACME authority URL and cause AcmeHandler.setup_acme_client to initiate backend requests without effective server-side destination restriction. From the Lemur host's network context, those requests can be directed toward cloud instance metadata services or internal network services. The advisory also describes an authorization weakness in creator-equality behavior that can preserve access to certificate key material after ownership or role changes, while private-key export auditing lacks sufficient context to clearly distinguish that access path. In combination, these weaknesses can expose cloud credentials and undermine control over long-lived PKI private keys. The issue is fixed in Lemur 1.9.2 by adding ACME_DIRECTORY_HOST_ALLOWLIST validation and enriching key-export audit events with creator and current-owner context.
