CVE-2026-47684: Sync-in Server: SSRF protection bypass via IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in regExpPrivateIP
(updated )
Summary: The private IP blocklist regex used in the URL download feature does not match IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (e.g. ::ffff:127.0.0.1), allowing SSRF protection to be bypassed on dual-stack systems.
Affected components
backend/src/applications/files/services/files-manager.service.ts – downloadFromUrl() checks regExpPrivateIP against request.socket.remoteAddress. backend/src/applications/files/utils/url-file.ts – regExpPrivateIP does not include ::ffff: variants.
Details: The regExpPrivateIP regex in backend/src/applications/files/utils/url-file.ts correctly blocks standard IPv4 private ranges but does not include ::ffff: prefixed variants. On dual-stack systems, Node.js can report a socket’s remoteAddress in IPv4-mapped IPv6 form, meaning the check in FilesManager.downloadFromUrl() can be bypassed entirely.

Proof:
Impact: An attacker can supply a crafted URL pointing to an internal address that gets reported as ::ffff:127.0.0.1 or ::ffff:10.x.x.x, causing the server to fetch internal resources that should be blocked. Any user with access to the file download feature is a potential attacker.
