CVE-2026-55526: praisonaiagents has an SSRF protection bypass in `spider_tools._host_is_blocked()` via DNS-resolved hostnames (`127.0.0.1.nip.io`)

August 25, 2026

praisonaiagents/tools/spider_tools.py contains an SSRF protection bypass. The function _host_is_blocked() validates URLs against a list of blocked IP literals and hostname aliases, but never performs DNS resolution. Any hostname that resolves to a private or loopback IP address — including public wildcard DNS services like 127.0.0.1.nip.io — bypasses the protection entirely.

This has been confirmed with a live exploit: scrape_page("http://127.0.0.1.nip.io:PORT/secret") makes an HTTP request to 127.0.0.1:PORT and returns the internal service response. No attacker-controlled infrastructure is required.

scrape_page, extract_links, crawl, and extract_text are all registered as LLM-callable agent tools (see tools/__init__.py lines 51-55), so any agent instructed to fetch a user-supplied URL will trigger this path.

This is a new bypass of prior fix commit 004dcfef (GHSA-q9pw-vmhh-384g), which only rejected IP literal encoding tricks (hex, octal, backslash). The fix was also applied to web_crawl_tools.py (line 231: socket.gethostbyname call), but that fix was not ported to spider_tools.py.
