Parsing and Manipulating IPv4 and IPv6 Address Library Vulnerability in ip-address by Beaugunderson
CVE-2026-69192
7.7HIGH
What is CVE-2026-69192?
The ip-address library prior to version 10.3.1 has a vulnerability where leading zeros in octets are improperly interpreted. This discrepancy between Address4 and the network stack could lead to security issues, such as misclassifying internal addresses as external ones. For instance, '012.0.0.1' resolves to a different IP address than intended. This flaw affects several methods used to determine address types, potentially allowing unauthorized network requests, which may compromise system integrity. The library has been updated to address this parsing inconsistency.
