Adminer before 6.0.2 Privileged-Port SSRF via host_port Regex
Adminer 5.5.1 through 6.0.1 improperly parses the login 'server' string in the host_port() function in adminer/include/functions.inc.php. The port capture group requires pure digits anchored to the end of the string, so any server value with a non-digit tail fails the regex and falls back to returning the whole string as the host with an empty port. Because the privileged-port restriction in adminer/include/auth.inc.php inspects only the parsed port, the check is skipped, and the mysqli/mysqlnd client subsequently re-parses host:port from the host string and opens a TCP connection. A remote, unauthenticated attacker who can reach the Adminer login page can submit a crafted value such as 127.0.0.1:80/x to make the server initiate TCP connections to arbitrary internal hosts and privileged ports before credentials are validated, enabling server-side request forgery and blind internal port scanning (connection refused vs. handshake vs. timeout acts as a liveness oracle). This is a regression that re-opens the bypass fixed in 5.5.0 (GHSA-58cq-mgw2-38m5). Fixed in 6.0.2.
