SSRF via normalized IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses
Published May 12, 2026 · Updated May 12, 2026
SSRF in ssrfcheck 1.3.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to reach private network resources via IPv4-mapped IPv6 URLs. Node.js normalizes embedded IPv4 dot notation into compressed hexadecimal form before src/is-private-ip.js applies a dot-only private-address regex, so isSSRFSafeURL() returns safe. Applications are exposed when they use that result to authorize requests from untrusted URLs; the bypass requires no authentication or non-default options and can expose metadata, loopback, or internal services.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
