Technical details
The outbound URL guard in server/modules/outboundTargetPolicy.js failed to recognize IPv4 addresses embedded within NAT64 prefixes (64:ff9b::/96 and 64:ff9b:1::/48), treating them as public IPv6 addresses. An authenticated attacker with API connection creation/edit permissions can supply a malicious hostname whose DNS response resolves to a NAT64-embedded private IPv4 address; the gateway then translates it post-validation, enabling SSRF access to cloud metadata (169.254.169.254) and internal RFC 1918 hosts. The attack requires a NAT64/DNS64 deployment and is fixed in version 5.2.1 by registering NAT64 prefixes in the blocklist and extracting embedded IPv4s for validation.
