CVE-2024-22203Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Internal resource access via unchecked request destination

Published Jan 23, 2024 · Updated Nov 13, 2024

Server-side request forgery in Whoogle Search before 0.8.4 allows remote attackers to retrieve internal resources through crafted requests. The element method in app/routes.py passes attacker-controlled URL and type query values to UserRequest.send, which issues a GET request without destination validation. No authentication or user interaction is required, and returned content can expose resources reachable only from the server.
