CVE-2026-69192
Description
A flaw was found in the ip-address library. This library incorrectly interprets IPv4 address octets with leading zeros as decimal, while standard network parsers interpret them as octal. This inconsistency can cause applications to misclassify network targets, allowing a remote attacker to bypass security measures like Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) filters and potentially gain unauthorized access to internal systems.
Statement
This Important flaw in the ip-address JavaScript library can lead to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and trust-boundary bypass. The library's inconsistent parsing of IP address octets with leading zeros, which it interprets as decimal while the network stack interprets them as octal, can cause applications to misclassify internal IP addresses as external. This discrepancy can bypass security filters designed to prevent access to internal resources.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
