CVE-2024-22203 Information

Description

Whoogle Search is a self-hosted metasearch engine. In versions prior to 0.8.4 the element method in app/routes.py does not validate the user-controlled src_type and element_url variables and passes them to the send method which sends a GET request on lines 339-343 in request.py which leads to a server-side request forgery. This issue allows for crafting GET requests to internal and external resources on behalf of the server. For example this issue would allow for accessing resources on the internal network that the server has access to even though these resources may not be accessible on the internet. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.4.
