How to fix?

Upgrade org.webjars.npm:ip-address to version 10.7.0 or higher.

Overview

org.webjars.npm:ip-address is an A library for parsing IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses in node and the browser.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Behavior Order via the isLinkLocal() method, which incorrectly compared only the first 64 bits of an IPv6 address against the fixed pattern fe80:0:0:0, effectively recognising only fe80::/64 as link-local. Addresses within the full fe80::/10 range defined by RFC 4291 §2.4 - such as fe81::1, febf::1, or fe80:0:0:1::1 - are incorrectly classified as non-link-local, causing the library to disagree with itself because getType() and getScope() already matched the correct /10 subnet. An attacker can exploit this inconsistency to bypass link-local address checks in applications that rely on isLinkLocal() for access control or routing decisions.
