## Technical details

The /homepage/proxy endpoint performs only syntactic URL validation using new URL(), allowing requests to loopback, RFC1918, link-local, and cloud metadata addresses via the url query parameter. An authenticated attacker can pass arbitrary URLs to http.get or https.get without destination restrictions, and the endpoint returns the complete JSON response. This Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability requires authentication but allows exfiltration of internal service data and cloud credentials.
