Descriptions

Zulip is an open-source team collaboration tool with topic-based threading that combines email and chat. When displaying messages with embedded remote images, Zulip normally loads the image preview via a go-camo proxy server. However, an attacker who can send messages could include a crafted URL that tricks the server into embedding a remote image reference directly. This could allow the attacker to infer the viewer’s IP address and browser fingerprinting information. This vulnerability is fixed in Zulip Server 5.6. Zulip organizations with image and link previews [disabled](https://zulip.com/help/allow-image-link-previews) are not affected.

Zulip es una herramienta de colaboración en equipo de código abierto con hilos basados en temas que combinan el correo electrónico y el chat. Cuando muestra mensajes con imágenes remotas insertadas, Zulip normalmente carga la vista previa de la imagen por medio de un servidor proxy go-camo. Sin embargo, un atacante que pueda enviar mensajes podría incluir una URL diseñada que engañe al servidor para que inserte una referencia de imagen remota directamente. Esto podría permitir al atacante inferir la dirección IP del espectador y la información de las huellas del navegador. Esta vulnerabilidad ha sido corregido en Zulip Server versión 5.6. Las organizaciones de Zulip con vistas previas de imágenes y enlaces [deshabilitadas] (https://zulip.com/help/allow-image-link-previews) no están afectadas
