CVE-2026-101910: ip-address: no classifier recognizes the NAT64 local-use range 64:ff9b:1::/48, allowing SSRF and trust-boundary bypass
No classifier on Address6 recognizes the NAT64 local-use range 64:ff9b:1::/48 (RFC 8215). isPrivate(), isLoopback(), isLinkLocal() and their siblings all return false for every address in it, so an internal IPv4 destination written through a local-use NAT64 prefix (64:ff9b:1:7f00:0:100:: for 127.0.0.1, 64:ff9b:1:a9fe:a9:fe00:: for 169.254.169.254) reads as an ordinary global address. getType() names the range 'NAT64 (local-use)', so the library knows what the address is and classifies it as nothing.
An application that builds a network trust-boundary decision on these checks (for example a filter intended to block Server-Side Request Forgery, or SSRF) will classify an internal target as external and allow the request. SSRF is an attack in which a user-supplied address coaxes the server into making a request to an internal destination the user could not otherwise reach, such as a loopback service or a cloud metadata endpoint.
