  - 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.
