## Technical details

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) exists in HTMLy 3.1.1 within the RSS feed import functionality. The 'get_feed()' function in 'system/admin/admin.php' accepts a user-provided '$feed_url' and passes it directly to PHP's 'file_get_contents()' without validation or sanitization. An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges can provide malicious URLs using various schemes, such as 'file://' to read local files (e.g., /etc/passwd) or 'http://' to target internal network services and cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254). The vulnerability is reachable via the 'Tools -> Import RSS' administrative interface.
