CVE-2026-54589: Chartbrew NAT64/DNS64 SSRF bypass in outbound policy

CVE-2026-54589 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-06

Chartbrew is an open-source analytics tool that connects to databases and APIs to generate charts. An authenticated user with API connection privileges can bypass security checks by supplying a NAT64-addressed hostname, allowing them to reach internal cloud metadata services and private network hosts that should be blocked. This vulnerability only affects systems using IPv6 with NAT64/DNS64 translation.

Technologies: Chartbrew. Vendors: Chartbrew.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 5.2.1

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.
