## Description

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) bypass vulnerability exists in
“stunnel” 5.79 and lower when configured in SOCKS proxy mode. This flaw
allows a client to bypass intended localhost restrictions by using
IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (e.g., “::ffff:127.0.0.1”) or unspecified
addresses ("0.0.0.0", "::"), enabling access to loopback-only services on
the "stunnel" host that should not be network-reachable.
