ip-address: no classifier recognizes the NAT64 local-use range 64:ff9b:1::/48, allowing SSRF and trust-boundary bypass

### Summary No classifier on `Address6` recognizes the NAT64 local-use range `64:ff9b:1::/48` (RFC 8215). `isPrivate()`, `isLoopback()`, `isLinkLocal()` and their siblings all return `false` for every address in it, so an internal IPv4 destination written through a local-use NAT64 prefix (`64:ff9b:1:7f00:0:100::` for `127.0.0.1`, `64:ff9b:1:a9fe:a9:fe00::` for `169.254.169.254`) reads as an ordinary global address. `getType()` names the range `'NAT64 (local-use)'`, so the library knows what the address is and classifies it as nothing. An application that builds a network trust-boundary decision on these checks (for example a filter intended to block Server-Side Request Forgery, or SSRF) will classify an internal target as external and allow the request. SSRF is an attack in which a user-supplied address coaxes the server into making a request to an internal destination the user could not otherwise reach, such as a loopback service or a cloud metadata endpoint. ### Details The fix for GHSA-22jq-vg5j-6vgg (10.2.1) classifies IPv4-mapped (`::ffff:0:0/96`) and NAT64 well-known (`64:ff9b::/96`) addresses by their embedded IPv4 address: `embeddedIPv4()` in `src/ipv6.ts` decodes the t
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. NIST National Vulnerability Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
- NVD lastModified does not establish freshness of every associated CPE record.
