Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the SSRF protection's isSelfRequest() function, which uses substring matching (stripos) instead of proper hostname equality checks to validate external URLs. An authenticated attacker can craft a malicious URL containing the server hostname within the path (e.g., attacker.com/serverhostname) to bypass IP validation in validate_external_host() and trigger server-side requests to internal services.
