Summary
SurrealDB from 3.2.0 before 3.3.0 contains a server-side request forgery flaw in the FilteringResolver is_private_ip check, which fails to unwrap NAT64, 6to4, and Teredo IPv6 addresses (CWE-918). An authenticated user who triggers outbound HTTP requests through SurrealQL http functions can use these transition addresses to embed private IPv4 targets and reach localhost, internal services, or cloud metadata endpoints.
