## Summary `is_global_address` in [`src/pyload/core/utils/web/check.py`](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/blob/1b12dc7f348db8c144e0f39215680415e90ca4d2/src/pyload/core/utils/web/check.py) is the central guard against SSRF-style outbound connections in pyload-ng. It tests whether a given IP is "globally routable" via Python's `ipaddress.ip_address(value).is_global`, and callers treat `not is_global` as "deny": ```python def is_global_address(value): try: return ipaddress.ip_address(value).is_global except ValueError: return False def is_global_host(value): ips = host_to_ip(value) return ips and all((is_global_address(ip) for ip in ips)) ``` Python's `ipaddress.IPv6Address.is_global` classifies the NAT64 well-known prefix as **globally routable** on every supported Python version (3.9 through 3.14 confirmed), and on older Pythons (3.9-3.11) the 6to4 prefix as well: | address | `is_global` on Py 3.9-3.11 | `is_global` on Py 3.12+ | wrapped IPv4 | |----------------------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------|----------------------| | `2002:7f00:0001::` (6to4) | True | False | 127.0.0.1 | | `2002:0a00:0001::` (6to4) | True | False | 10.0.0.1 | | `2002:a9fe:a9fe::` (6to4) | True | False | 169.254.169.254 (IMDS)| | `64:ff9b::a9fe:a9fe` (NAT64) | True | True | 169.254.169.254 | | `64:ff9b::7f00:1` (NAT64) | True | True | 127.0.0.1 | pyload-ng declares `python_requires = >=3.9` (`setup.cfg`), so deployments on Python 3.9-3.11 see the 6to4 path too. The NAT64 path is universal. `is_global` returns True for these wrappers, so `is_global_address` returns True and the deny check passes. The pycurl `PREREQFUNC` at [`src/pyload/core/network/http/http_request.py:680`](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/blob/1b12dc7f348db8c144e0f39215680415e90ca4d2/src/pyload/core/network/http/http_request.py#L680) consults the same helper just before TCP-connect: ```python if not self.allow_private_ip: is_proxy_ip = self.http_proxy_host and self.http_proxy_host == (conn_primary_ip, conn_primary_port) if not is_global_address(conn_primary_ip) and not is_proxy_ip: return pycurl.PREREQFUNC_ABORT return pycurl.PREREQFUNC_OK ``` On a host with 6to4 routing (legacy operator tunnels; `2002::/16` still configurable) or NAT64 (cloud IPv6-only subnets with NAT64 gateway), the encoded form routes to the embedded IPv4 and the curl connection terminates at the internal endpoint, defeating the deny. `is_global_host` (the helper that callers like `parse_urls` use against a URL hostname) feeds through `host_to_ip` which pins `family=AF_INET`, so hostname-based reach to these forms relies on the attacker supplying an IPv6 literal in the URL — but the curl PREREQFUNC sees the actual resolved IP (the AAAA returned for the hostname), so a hostname with an AAAA record set to one of the bypass forms reaches the same gap. Cross-reference: this is the same incomplete-coverage class as pydantic-ai's [GHSA-cqp8-fcvh-x7r3](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/security/advisories/GHSA-cqp8-fcvh-x7r3) / CVE-2026-46678. pyload-ng's prior SSRF advisories [GHSA-7gvf-3w72-p2pg](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/security/advisories/GHSA-7gvf-3w72-p2pg) and [GHSA-8rp3-xc6w-5qp5](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/security/advisories/GHSA-8rp3-xc6w-5qp5) both went through `is_global_host` / `is_global_address`; the IPv6 transition gap is orthogonal to those redirect-bypass classes. ## Severity **MEDIUM** — `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:L` = **4.7** - `AC:H` — exploitation requires the host network to route 6to4 (`2002::/16` traffic), have a NAT64 gateway, or otherwise resolve the IPv6 transition form to an internal IPv4 endpoint at the TCP layer. - `PR:L` — `parse_urls` ([`src/pyload/core/api/__init__.py:582`](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/blob/1b12dc7f348db8c144e0f39215680415e90ca4d2/src/pyload/core/api/__init__.py#L582)) requires `Perms.ADD`, which any account capable of adding links holds. The curl PREREQFUNC at [`http_request.py:680`](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/blob/1b12dc7f348db8c144e0f39215680415e90ca4d2/http_request.py#L680) is reached by every downloader plugin that runs after `is_global_host` passed. - `C:L/A:L` — internal-network recon and timing-based confirmation; cloud-metadata exfiltration on networks where the transition form actually routes. **CWE-918**: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). ## Affected versions `pyload-ng` from the introduction of `is_global_address` / `is_global_host` in [`src/pyload/core/utils/web/check.py`](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/blob/1b12dc7f348db8c144e0f39215680415e90ca4d2/src/pyload/core/utils/web/check.py) up to an
