calibre is a cross-platform e-book manager for viewing, converting, editing, and cataloging e-books. Prior to version 9.6.0, a Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in the background-image endpoint of calibre e-book reader's web view allows an attacker to perform blind GET requests to arbitrary URLs and exfiltrate information out from the ebook sandbox. Version 9.6.0 patches the issue.
CVE-2026-33205
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
