Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

CVE-2026-44492

High
8.6/10

Summary

shouldBypassProxy, introduced in v1.15.0 to fix CVE-2025-62718, does not normalise IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. When NO_PROXY lists an IPv4 address such as `127.0.0.1` or `169.254.169.254`, a request URL using the IPv4-mapped IPv6 form (`::ffff:7f00:1`, `::ffff:a9fe:a9fe`) still routes through the configured proxy. Node.js resolves these addresses to the underlying IPv4 host, so the request reaches the internal service via the proxy rather than being blocked. All versions prior to 0.32.0 and 1.0.0 prior to 1.16.0 are affected.

CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Server-side request forgery (SSRF) is a weakness that allows an attacker to send an arbitrary request, making it appear that the request was sent by the server. This request may bypass a firewall that would normally prevent direct access to the URL. The impact of this vulnerability can vary from unauthorized access to files and sensitive information to remote code execution.
