Описание
NLTK before 3.10.0 (affected versions <= 3.9.4) contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the validate_network_url() function in nltk/pathsec.py. The _resolve_hostname() helper catches OSError and ValueError during socket.getaddrinfo() and returns an empty list; when DNS resolution fails, the validation loop executes no IP checks and the function fails open, allowing urlopen() to proceed without validation. An attacker who can trigger DNS resolution failures or use DNS rebinding can bypass SSRF protections and reach restricted network resources, including cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254).
A flaw was found in NLTK. This server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass network access restrictions. By triggering DNS resolution failures or using DNS rebinding, an attacker can cause the validate_network_url() function to incorrectly validate URLs. This enables access to restricted internal network resources, such as cloud metadata endpoints.
Отчет
This flaw in NLTK allows a server-side request forgery (SSRF) bypass when DNS resolution fails or through DNS rebinding. This could enable an attacker to access restricted internal network resources, including cloud metadata endpoints, within Red Hat environments utilizing affected NLTK versions.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
