CVE-2026-77972

safeurl validated address is not bound to the request, allowing DNS rebinding

Published Sep 15, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 9 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition in Slab safeurl allows an attacker who controls a hostname's DNS responses to reach internal network destinations that validation rejected.

Validation returns a verdict and not the address it approved, so the HTTP clients the library ships receive the original hostname and resolve it a second time when the request is made. An attacker who controls the authoritative DNS for a name can answer the first lookup with a permitted address and the second with a blocked one, and the request then reaches a destination validation never approved. The same window opens without an attacker whenever a name legitimately resolves to different addresses across lookups, such as short record lifetimes or rotation between several addresses.

This issue affects safeurl: from 0.1.0 onward.
