A vulnerability on dssrf allow, an attacker to use, one of them following ipv6

rust
Input	Category
http://[::1]/	IPv6 loopback
http://[fc00::1]/	IPv6 ULA
http://[fe80::1]/	IPv6 link-local
http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]/	IPv4-mapped loopback
http://[::ffff:169.254.169.254]/	IPv4-mapped IMDS
http://[::ffff:100.64.0.1]/	IPv4-mapped CGNAT
http://[64:ff9b::7f00:1]/	NAT64 well-known prefix
http://[64:ff9b:1::1]/	NAT64 local-use (RFC 8215)
http://[5f00::1]/	SRv6 SID (RFC 9602)
http://[3fff::1]/	IPv6 documentation (RFC 9637)
http://[fec0::1]/	IPv6 site-local (deprecated, RFC 3879)
http://[::127.0.0.1]/	IPv4-compatible IPv6

one of those to bypass dssrf and the attacker get SSRF, we claim that ipv6 disabled entirely that is wrong on our documentation

POC

bash
mkdir dssrf-poc && cd dssrf-poc
npm init -y >/dev/null
npm install dssrf@^1.0.2
cat > audit.js <<'EOF'
const dssrf = require('dssrf');

  ['http://8.8.8.8/',                       'PUBLIC IPv4 (control)'],
];
(async () => {
  for (const [url, label] of cases) {
    const safe = await dssrf.is_url_safe(url);
    console.log(`${safe ? '✓ALLOW' : '·block'}  ${url.padEnd(40)}  ${label}`);
  }
})();

Update

Users need to update from now to dssrf 1.0.3

Lessons Learned

AS we see in the past and today, a lot of advisories or cves bypasses uses IPv6, and IPv6 is the weakest link to be configured correctly and rarely properly tested, Since we blocked ipv4, our ipv6 blocking logic completly broken and never works
