CVE-2024-11168 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The urllib.parse.urlsplit() and urlparse() functions improperly validated bracketed hosts (`[]`), allowing hosts that weren't IPv6 or IPvFuture. This behavior was not conformant to RFC 3986 and potentially enabled SSRF if a URL is processed by more than one URL parser.. EPSS estimates a 0.67% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
