Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

The existing advisory GHSA-4gp8-rjrq-ch6q / CVE-2026-43897 states that the SSRF issue was fixed in 4.0.1. However, 4.0.3 remains bypassable when the documented resolveDNSHost mitigation is used. Root cause: The library validates one resolved IP address through resolveDNSHost, but later performs fetch() against the original hostname without pinning the connection to the validated IP. An attacker-controlled DNS server can return a public IP during validation and a loopback/internal IP during the final connection. Impact: This allows an attacker to bypass the documented SSRF mitigation and make the server-side fetch reach loopback or internal addresses under DNS rebinding conditions. This appears to be either an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-43897 or a new DNS rebinding SSRF bypass affecting the latest version. The PoC was reproduced in a local-only controlled environment to avoid targeting production or third-party systems. Evidence and reproduction details can be provided privately.
