imgproxy is vulnerable to SSRF against 0.0.0.0

Description

Summary

Imgproxy does not block the 0.0.0.0 address, even with IMGPROXY_ALLOW_LOOPBACK_SOURCE_ADDRESSES set to false. This can expose services on the local host.

Details

imgproxy protects against SSRF against a loopback address with the following check (source):

if !config.AllowLoopbackSourceAddresses && ip.IsLoopback() {
    return ErrSourceAddressNotAllowed
}

This check is insufficient to prevent accessing services on the local host, as services may receive traffic on 0.0.0.0. Go's IsLoopback (source) strictly follows the definition of loopback IPs beginning with 127. 0.0.0.0 is not blocked.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
