🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: The `/process-url` endpoint used `httpx.AsyncClient` with `follow_redirects=True`. While the initial user-provided URL was validated against SSRF protections (blocking private/internal IPs), the client implicitly followed subsequent HTTP redirects without validating their target locations. This allowed an attacker to bypass the initial check by supplying a valid URL that redirected to an internal IP or cloud metadata endpoint.
🎯 Impact: An attacker could potentially access internal network services or cloud metadata endpoints.
🔧 Fix: Implemented an `event_hooks` listener (`validate_redirect`) on the `httpx.AsyncClient` that intercepts responses, extracts the `Location` header, resolves the absolute target URL, and applies the same `validate_url_safety` check before allowing the redirect to be followed.
✅ Verification: Ran `pytest tests/test_url_upload.py`, formatting checks via `ruff format` and linting via `ruff check`.
