🚨High - NLTK urlopen SSRF Protection Bypass via DNS Rebinding (CVE-2026-12075) NLTK's nltk.pathsec.urlopen ENFORCE mode validates the hostname’s resolved IP, but the subsequent HTTP request performs a second DNS resolution. An attacker controlling DNS can return a public IP during validation and then rebind to internal/loopback during connect, enabling full-response SSRF and metadata/internal service exposure. 👉Affected: nltk (versions using nltk.pathsec.urlopen ENFORCE mode)
Post summary
The tweet announces CVE-2026-12075, a high severity SSRF bypass in NLTK’s urlopen via DNS rebinding, enabling internal service exploitation.
