CVE-2026-85738: TREK SSRF bypass via IPv6 transition addresses

CVE-2026-85738 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.3 · Published 2026-09-24

TREK is a collaborative travel planning application. Prior to version 3.4.0, the server's SSRF protection logic fails to properly validate IPv6 transition addresses (NAT64, 6to4, Teredo) that encode private or internal IPv4 targets. An authenticated attacker controlling a DNS record can exploit this to make the server reach internal services or cloud metadata endpoints, potentially exposing sensitive information.

Technologies: Liketrek TREK. Vendors: Liketrek.

Technical details

The checkSsrf validation in server/src/utils/ssrfGuard.ts does not recognize IPv6 transition address formats that embed IPv4 destinations, allowing isAlwaysBlocked and isPrivateNetwork checks to incorrectly classify such addresses as allowed. An authenticated user can supply a crafted DNS AAAA record resolving to a transition address embedding a private, loopback, or link-local IPv4 target, which the server then accesses through user-facing imports, webhooks, integrations, or plugin egress. The vulnerability requires deployment using one of these transition formats and authentication to the application.
