GHSA-vxgj-xg5c-p4h7: praisonaiagents: SSRF guard validates literal IPs only and never resolves DNS

June 18, 2026

The SSRF guard shared by PraisonAI’s web tools (SpiderTools._validate_url → _host_is_blocked in praisonaiagents/tools/spider_tools.py) inspects only literal IP-address encodings of the URL host. It never resolves DNS names. Any hostname whose A/AAAA record points at an internal, loopback, link-local, or cloud-metadata address passes validation and the request is issued to that target. A static internal A record is sufficient — no DNS-rebinding race is required.

The guard’s own docstring claims it returns True “when hostname resolves to loopback/private/internal targets,” but no resolution is performed. The fix for CVE-2026-47390 added more encodings of literal IPs (decimal integer, 0x hex, inet_aton); it did not address the class “host is a name that resolves to a forbidden address.”

The same guard is reached through two tool surfaces:

  • scrape_page / crawl / extract_links / extract_text (spider tools)
  • the @url mention fetch in praisonaiagents/tools/mentions.py (which calls the identical SpiderTools._validate_url then urllib.request.urlopen)

The correct pattern already exists in the same package: file_tools.py resolves the host with socket.getaddrinfo and checks each resolved address before fetching. spider_tools / mentions do not.
