New Research: CVE-2026-45502 — Microsoft Exchange Server SSRF Any mailbox user can force Exchange to make HTTP requests to internal networks. The SSRF protection only runs on cloud deployments — on-premises servers skip the check entirely. Root cause: the intranet address validation is gated on `isBposUser`, which is always `false` for on-prem Exchange. One SOAP request to EWS InstallApp with a crafted ManifestUrl = blind SSRF from the Exchange server's network position. Affects Exchange 2016 CU23, 2019 CU14/CU15, and Exchange SE. Patched in the June 2026 SU. Full analysis + PoC: https://aretiq.ai/research/15/
