flyto-core has SSRF guard bypass via IPv6 transition addresses (IPv4-mapped / 6to4 / NAT64) in validate_url_ssrf
## Summary `flyto-core`'s SSRF protection (`validate_url_ssrf` / `is_private_ip` in `src/core/utils.py`) blocks private and metadata destinations by resolving the host and testing the resulting IP for membership in a hardcoded `PRIVATE_IP_RANGES` list. That list contains only the *native* RFC 1918 / loopback / link-local / unique-local ranges. It d...

🧮 Severity Anatomy — CVSS 3.1 vector, decoded from the primary record
The base score summarizes severity in one number; the vector explains why. Each row below is a direct read of the official CVSS vector — verifiable against the NVD record.
| Metric | Value | What it means for defenders |
|---|---|---|
| Attack Vector | Network AV:N |
Remotely exploitable across the network — internet-facing instances are directly at risk. |
| Attack Complexity | High AC:H |
Depends on conditions outside attacker control (race, specific config) — harder to weaponize. |
| Privileges Required | Low PR:L |
Requires basic user-level privileges. |
| User Interaction | None UI:N |
No victim action required — fully automatable. |
| Scope | Changed S:C |
Impact extends beyond the vulnerable component — can affect other systems/security domains. |
| Confidentiality Impact | High C:H |
Total loss of confidentiality — full data disclosure possible. |
| Integrity Impact | Low I:L |
Limited modification of some data. |
| Availability Impact | None A:N |
No availability impact. |
🧬 Weakness Anatomy — CWE-918, the underlying flaw class
This vulnerability is classified as CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the primary record. The mechanics below are characteristic of this weakness class (per the MITRE CWE corpus), not a claim about a specific exploit observed against your environment.
| How it's exploited | Attacker makes the server issue requests to attacker-chosen targets, reaching internal services or cloud metadata. |
| Detect & prevent | Allowlist egress destinations; block link-local/metadata IPs; validate URLs. Detect via outbound requests to 169.254.169.254 and internal ranges. |
⚠️ Business Impact Analysis
- ⚠️ Privilege escalation — local attacker can become SYSTEM/root
🔗 Representative Attack Path
A typical attack path for this vulnerability class, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. This is a representative model to guide detection and defense — not a claim of observed activity against a specific target. Confirm specifics against the primary sources below.

3 |
Privilege Escalation | Local privilege escalation to SYSTEM/root for full control | T1068 |
4 |
Persistence | Backdoor, scheduled task, or new admin account created for persistent access | T1053 |
5 |
Command & Control | Attacker establishes persistent C2 channel using HTTPS or DNS tunneling | T1071 |
6 |
Impact / Objectives | Intellectual property theft, espionage, cryptomining, or preparation for future attack stage | T1657 |
