CVE-2024-22205

Summary

CVE-2024-22205 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability affecting versions 0.8.3 and prior of Whoogle Search, a self-hosted metasearch engine. The `window` endpoint fails to sanitize user input from the `location` variable, which is then used in the `send` method to create a GET request on lines 339-343 of `request.py`. This issue enables an attacker to craft malicious GET requests, enabling access to internal and external resources that the server ordinarily would not be able to access. The vulnerability is resolved in version 0.8.4.
