SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) in github.com/maximhq/bifrost/core (CVE-2026-55245)
Summary
SSRF in github.com/maximhq/bifrost/core (CVE-2026-55245). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via isPublicIP. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.5.17 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
isPublicIP in core/providers/utils/fetch.go — the SSRF deny-list that gates FetchAndEncodeURL — does not reject several routable address ranges that map onto internal infrastructure. Carrier-Grade NAT (100.64.0.0/10, RFC 6598), IPv6 6to4 (2002::/16), NAT64 (64:ff9b::/96 and 64:ff9b:1::/48), and deprecated IPv6 site-local (fec0::/10) are all classified as public and permitted. An attacker who controls a multimodal image/document URL in a Bedrock or Vertex request body can drive the gateway to fetch internal services it should not reach — including the cloud instance-metadata endpoint via the 6to4 / NAT64 embeddings of 169.254.169.254.
The rest of the fetch hardening is correct and is not part of this report: the dial-time LookupIP + pin to ips[0] closes the DNS-rebinding TOCTOU, CheckRedirect re-validates redirect targets, the scheme gate, the 25 MiB cap, and the 20 s timeout all work. This is purely a residual IP-classification gap in isPublicIP.
