Cloud metadata access via IPv6 deny-list bypass
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Server-side request forgery in Gotenberg before 8.33.0 allows remote attackers to read internal HTTP responses via crafted DNS AAAA records. The IsPublicIP function in pkg/gotenberg/outbound.go relies on Go address helpers and addr.Unmap(), but it does not unwrap or block 6to4, NAT64, Teredo, and deprecated site-local IPv6 prefixes that can encode non-public IPv4 targets. Exploitation requires a deployment that routes those IPv6 transition prefixes, such as dual-stack or NAT64-enabled hosts, and can expose cloud metadata responses even when WithDenyPrivateIPs is enabled.

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.
