Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of bracketed hosts (e.g. []) within the urllib.parse.urlsplit() and urlparse() functions allowing hosts that weren't IPv6 or IPvFuture. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted IP address to the application to bypass implemented IP-based security checks or perform SSRF attacks.

Mitigation
