Summary

dssrf: every IPv6 category bypasses isurlsafe

A vulnerability on dssrf allow, an attacker to use, one of them following ipv6

Input	Category
http://[::1]/	IPv6 loopback
http://[fc00::1]/	IPv6 ULA
http://[fe80::1]/	IPv6 link-local
http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]/	IPv4-mapped loopback
http://[::ffff:169.254.169.254]/	IPv4-mapped IMDS
http://[::ffff:100.64.0.1]/	IPv4-mapped CGNAT
http://[64:ff9b::7f00:1]/	NAT64 well-known prefix
http://[64:ff9b:1::1]/	NAT64 local-use (RFC 8215)
http://[5f00::1]/	SRv6 SID (RFC 9602)
http://[3fff::1]/	IPv6 documentation (RFC 9637)
http://[fec0::1]/	IPv6 site-local (deprecated, RFC 3879)
http://[::127.0.0.1]/	IPv4-compatible IPv6

one of those to bypass dssrf and the attacker get SSRF, we claim that ipv6 disabled entirely that is wrong on our documentation

Million Thank's to [email protected] for reporting that responsibly.

Update

Users need to update from now to dssrf 1.0.3

Lessons Learned

AS we see in the past and today, a lot of advisories or cves bypasses uses IPv6, and IPv6 is the weakest link to be configured correctly and rarely properly tested, Since we blocked ipv4, our ipv6 blocking logic completly broken and never works

Impact

Affected versions

dssrf (< 1.0.3)

Security releases

dssrf → 1.0.3 (npm)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is CVE-2026-44232? CVE-2026-44232 is a high-severity security vulnerability in dssrf (npm), affecting versions < 1.0.3. It is fixed in 1.0.3.
  2. Which versions of dssrf are affected by CVE-2026-44232? dssrf (npm) versions < 1.0.3 is affected.
  3. Is there a fix for CVE-2026-44232? Yes. CVE-2026-44232 is fixed in 1.0.3. Upgrade to this version or later.
  4. Is CVE-2026-44232 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-44232 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

  5. What actually determines whether CVE-2026-44232 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
  6. How do I fix CVE-2026-44232? Upgrade dssrf to 1.0.3 or later.
