CVE-2024-22205Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Internal resource access via unsanitized window location

Published Jan 23, 2024 · Updated Jun 17, 2025

SSRF in the window endpoint in Whoogle Search 0.8.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to access internal resources through the server. The window route passes the unvalidated location parameter to user_request.send, which performs a server-side GET to the supplied URL. No privileges or user interaction are required; endpoint reachability lets the server expose resources available from its own network position.
