Unauthenticated IP spoofing via mapped-IPv6 subnet misparsing
Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026
Improper subnet validation in jshttp proxy-addr 1.1.0 through 2.0.7 allows remote attackers to spoof client IP addresses. The trust compiler accepts an IPv4-mapped IPv6 CIDR with an IPv4-sized prefix and interprets it as trusting every IPv4 address, after which X-Forwarded-For controls the returned client address. Reachability requires an application configured with that malformed trust subnet; affected controls include IP allowlists, rate limits, geolocation, and audit logs.

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.
