compliance-trestle has an URLSecurityValidator SSRF allowlist bypass via IPv4-mapped IPv6 and 0.0.0.0
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for compliance-trestle. 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.

### Summary `compliance-trestle` 4.0.3 (latest) ships an `URLSecurityValidator` in `trestle/core/remote/security.py` to block SSRF to loopback / link-local / cloud-metadata endpoints from the HTTPSFetcher and SFTPFetcher remote-fetch paths. The allowlist is incomplete and can be bypassed by four equivalent address representations that resolve to the same blocked host but evade the validator's checks: - IPv4-mapped IPv6 literals (`[::ffff:169.254.169.254]`, `[::ffff:127.0.0.1]`, `[::ffff:10.0.0.1]`) are returned by `socket.getaddrinfo` as `IPv6Address` objects; `IPv6Address in IPv4Network('169.254.0.0/16')` returns `False`, so the `_check_blocked_networks` and `_check_private_networks` predicates do not match. - IPv4 unspecified address `0.0.0.0` is not in `ALWAYS_BLOCKED_NETWORKS` (which covers `127.0.0.0/8` but not `0.0.0.0/8`); on Linux + Docker, `0.0.0.0` routes to local services on any interface, and on dual-stack-mapped sockets it also reaches loopback listeners. A malicious OSCAL profile referencing one of these URLs in `imports[*].href` or `back-matter.resources[*].rlinks[*].href` causes `HTTPSFetcher.__init__` and `_do_fetch` (which both invoke `validator.validate_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.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
