Internal-service access via alternate IPv4 encodings
Published Jul 6, 2026 · Updated Jul 6, 2026
SSRF in Hugo 0.162.0 through 0.163.0 allows remote attackers to make build-time requests to internal services via encoded IPv4 hosts. The security.http.urls check evaluates only dotted-decimal hosts before resources.GetRemote requests or redirects, so cgo resolution converts integer, hex, or octal forms after the deny decision. Exposure requires an attacker-influenced template URL, a cgo system resolver, and reliance on the default policy; reachable targets include loopback, intranet, and cloud-metadata endpoints.
