CVE-2018-6849 describes a private IP address disclosure vulnerability in the WebRTC component of DuckDuckGo 4.2.0. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 4.3) allows a remote attacker to obtain a user's private IP address through a STUN request after the user visits a specially crafted website. While not actively exploited in the wild (no KEV entry), a Metasploit module exists for exploitation, and its FAUCET Risk Score of 99/100 indicates a high potential for impact despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
