CWE-ID: CWE-20
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass SSRF and trust-boundary checks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in Address6 special-property checks when processing IPv4-mapped or NAT64 IPv6 addresses. A remote attacker can supply a crafted IPv6 literal that embeds an internal IPv4 destination to bypass SSRF and trust-boundary checks.

For NAT64 addresses, end-to-end reachability additionally requires a NAT64/DNS64 gateway in the deployment network.
