🛡️ Sentinel: [MEDIUM] Fix CRLF Log Injection in Exception Handler

 **Vulnerability:** Attackers could bypass SSRF IP blocklists using SIIT (Stateless IP/ICMP Translation, RFC 2765) addresses. The format `::ffff:0:a.b.c.d` (using the `::ffff:0:0:0/96` prefix) evaluates as `is_global = True` in Python's `ipaddress` module and is NOT caught by the `ipv4_mapped` property. If an attacker passes such an address, the OS networking stack might route it directly to the embedded IPv4 target, bypassing internal security restrictions.
 **Learning:** Python's `ipaddress` module only natively extracts standard IPv4-mapped addresses (`::ffff:a.b.c.d`), failing to recognize or unwrap SIIT IPv4-translated addresses.
 **Prevention:** Always manually unwrap SIIT addresses by checking if the high 96 bits of the IPv6 integer match the SIIT prefix (`ip_int >> 32 == 0xffff0000`). If so, extract the underlying 32-bit IPv4 address using bitwise operations (`ip_int & 0xFFFFFFFF`) and validate it against the SSRF blocklist.

+## 2026-06-08 - CRLF Log Injection in Exception Handlers
+**Vulnerability:** The application was vulnerable to Log Injection (CRLF) in the `__main__` block's exception handler. When handling arbitrary, user-supplied inputs (`start_ip` and `end_ip`), the exception object `e` was formatted directly into the log message (`logging.error(f"Invalid scan range configuration: {e}")`). An attacker could supply an input containing newline characters (`\n` or `\r`), which would be evaluated as real newlines in the log output, allowing them to forge or obfuscate log entries.
+**Learning:** Even built-in exception strings (`str(e)`) can contain raw, unsanitized user input if the error originated from a parsing function (like `ipaddress.ip_address()`) that includes the bad input in its error message.
+**Prevention:** To prevent CRLF Log Injection, always sanitize exception messages that incorporate untrusted input by wrapping the string representation in `repr()` (e.g., `repr(str(e))`) before passing it to the logger. This securely escapes control characters.
