CVE-2026-55391: Datamodel code generator Datamodel-code-generator Vulnerable To SSRF Protection Vulnerability
HIGHCVE-2026-55391 is a HIGH (CVSS 7.5) datamodel-code-generator vulnerable to ssrf protection vulnerability (CWE-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition) affecting Datamodel code generator libraries in the PyPI ecosystem. The issue involves datamodel-code-generator vulnerable to ssrf protection bypass via dns rebinding. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 0.63.0.
CVE-2026-55391 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 7.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2026-55391
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Datamodel code generator dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install datamodel-code-generator>=0.63.0
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show datamodel-code-generator
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2026-55391, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show datamodel-code-generator
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Datamodel code generator in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.63.0), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show datamodel-code-generator command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition, where the product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource's state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check. In Datamodel code generator, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"summary" : "datamodel-code-generator vulnerable to SSRF protection bypass via DNS rebinding",
"details" : "### Summary\n\n`datamodel-code-generator`'s anti-SSRF guard validates the resolved IP of a fetch target once and then lets `httpx` perform its own independent DNS resolution to connect, so the validated address is never pinned. A hostname that resolves to a public IP at validation time and a private IP at connection time (DNS rebinding) bypasses the guard and reaches loopback, link-local cloud-metadata endpoints (`169.254.169.254`), and other internal services — even with the default `allow_private_network=False`. This is a server-side request forgery reachable when the tool fetches an attacker-influenced URL (remote `$ref`, or `--url`).\n\n### Details\n\nIn `src/datamodel_code_generator/http.py`, `get_body()` calls `_validate_url_for_fetch()`, which resolves the host via `_get_ips_from_host()` (`socket.getaddrinfo`) and rejects non-global addresses:\n\n```python\nips = _get_ips_from_host(host) # resolution #1 (validation)\nif not ips: return\nif all(_is_safe_ip(ip) for ip in ips): return\nraise SchemaFetchError(...) # blocks private/link-local/reserved\n```\n\nIt then connects with a separate, independent resolution:\n\n```python\nresponse = httpx.get(current_url, ...) # resolution #2 (connection) -- NOT pinned to #1\n```\n\nNothing ties the connection to the IP that passed validation. Between the two resolutions a low-TTL attacker-controlled record can flip from a public address (passes the guard) to a private one (used by the connection). The redirect-handling loop in the same function does correctly re-validate each redirect URL, so this is specifically a TOCTOU/rebinding gap in the host-to-IP check, not a redirect issue.\n\n### PoC\n\nSelf-contained reproducer: https://gist.github.com/thegr1ffyn/c1d54dd6ff2a4c0d7d0dabe00c4985f4 \nIt starts a loopback HTTP server standing in for an internal target and patches `socket.getaddrinfo` to return a public IP on the guard's lookup and `127.0.0.1` on httpx's the standard deterministic way to demonstrate this TOCTOU class (the real-world trigger is a low-TTL rebinding DNS record the attacker controls). \n\nReachability in normal use: the attacker registers a rebinding hostname and gets the tool to fetch `http://that-host/schema.json` either via `--url` or via a remote `$ref` in a supplied schema (remote refs are fetched on the default configuration).\n\n### Impact\n\nServer-side request forgery (CWE-918) via a time-of-check/time-of-use resolution gap (CWE-367). Any service or CI pipeline that runs `datamodel-code-generator` against attacker-influenced URLs is affected, including deployments that rely on the default private-network protection. Consequences include reading cloud instance-metadata credentials (`169.254.169.254`), reaching internal-only HTTP services, and port/host probing of the internal network, the document fetched from the internal target is also parsed and can be reflected into the generated output.\n\n### Maintainer status\n\nConfirmed by maintainer review and regression tests. The private fix PR was merged and released in `0.63.0`: https://github.com/koxudaxi/datamodel-code-generator-ghsa-vx7x-vcc2-c44g/pull/1\n\nFix summary: pin the validated DNS result set during the HTTP fetch so a host cannot resolve to a safe address during validation and a different address during connection.\n\nRelease status: fixed in `0.63.0`; `0.62.0` and earlier are affected.\n\nValidation: `uv run --group test --extra http pytest tests/test_http.py` passed locally for DNS pinning and URL-fetch regression coverage; `uv run --group fix ruff check src/datamodel_code_generator/http.py tests/test_http.py` passed.\n\nSubmitted by: Hamza Haroon (thegr1ffyn)",
