Description
Zoraxy versions 3.2.3 through 3.3.4 fail to properly parse IPv6 addresses in the RemoteAddr field when setting forwarded headers. Unauthenticated attackers connecting over IPv6 can supply arbitrary X-Forwarded-For values to spoof their source IP and bypass authorization provider IP-based access controls.

Impact

Zoraxy versions 3.2.3 through 3.3.4 do not correctly parse IPv6 addresses in the RemoteAddr field when setting forwarded headers. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker connecting over IPv6 to supply any value in the X‑Forwarded‑For header, thereby forging their source IP address and bypassing the service’s IP‑based access controls that rely on that header. The effect is a complete loss of the intended network‑level restriction, granting the attacker unauthenticated access to protected resources. The weakness is identified as improper authentication, a severe concern for services that use IP checks as a gatekeeper.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Zoraxy, a reverse proxy produced by the Tobychui project. Versions 3.2.3 through 3.3.4 are vulnerable, with the fix introduced in later releases. No other products or vendors are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.1 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Based on the description, the attack vector is remote over the network with unauthenticated IPv6 connections; an attacker only needs to craft a request containing a malicious X‑Forwarded‑For header, with no exploitation of local privileges or authentication credentials. The probability of exploitation is uncertain without EPSS data, but the high CVSS suggests a substantial risk for exposed deployments.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Zoraxy to a patched version (3.3.5 or later) where IPv6 parsing in forwarded header handling is corrected.
  • Until a patch is available, configure the reverse proxy or load balancer to strip or strictly validate the X‑Forwarded‑For header for unauthenticated traffic, accepting only IPs within trusted ranges.
  • Modify the authorization logic to enforce IP‑based controls only after authentication, and avoid relying solely on forwarded headers for critical access decisions.
