datamodel-code-generator vulnerable to SSRF protection bypass via DNS rebinding
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for datamodel-code-generator. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.
01 / Meaning
Why it matters
Published affected context helps an owner decide what evidence to gather. This report has not examined your application.
7.5 high
GitHub source severity; exploitability and local consequence require separate evidence.

source listed<= 0.62.0
### Summary `datamodel-code-generator`'s anti-SSRF guard validates the resolved IP of a fetch target once and then lets `httpx` perform its own independent DNS resolution to connect, so the validated address is never pinned. A hostname that resolves to a public IP at validation time and a private IP at connection time (DNS rebinding) bypasses the guard and reaches loopback, link-local cloud-metadata endpoints (`169.254.169.254`), and other internal services — even with the default `allow_private_network=False`. This is a server-side request forgery reachable when the tool fetches an attacker-influenced URL (remote `$ref`, or `--url`). ### Details In `src/datamodel_code_generator/http.py`, `get_body()` calls `_validate_url_for_fetch()`, which resolves the host via `_get_ips_from_host()` (`socket.getaddrinfo`) and rejects non-global addresses: ```python ips = _get_ips_from_host(host) # resolution #1 (validation) if not ips: return if all(_is_safe_ip(ip) for ip in ips): return raise SchemaFetchError(...) # blocks private/link-local/reserved ``` It then connects with a separate, independent resolution: ```python response = httpx.get(current_url, ...) #
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. GitHub Advisory 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.
