CVE-2026-44232: CWE-791: Incomplete Filtering of Special Elements in HackingRepo dssrf-js
DSSRF is a Node.js library that provides a wide range of utilities and advanced SSRF defense checks. Prior to 1.0.3, every IPv6 category bypasses is_url_safe. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.3.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-44232 affects the dssrf-js library, which provides utilities and SSRF defense checks for Node.js applications. Before version 1.0.3, the library's is_url_safe function fails to properly filter all IPv6 address categories, allowing these to bypass safety checks. This incomplete filtering can lead to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) risks. The issue is resolved in version 1.0.3. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.7, indicating a high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows IPv6 addresses to bypass the is_url_safe validation, potentially enabling SSRF attacks. This can lead to unauthorized internal network access or information disclosure. The high CVSS score reflects the significant risk posed by this flaw if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade dssrf-js to version 1.0.3 or later to apply the official fix for this vulnerability. Versions prior to 1.0.3 are affected. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated in the available data.
