CVE-2024-22203

Summary

CVE-2024-22203 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability affecting versions of Whoogle Search before 0.8.4. The issue lies in the `app/routes.py` file, where the `element` method fails to validate user-controlled `src_type` and `element_url` inputs. These variables are then passed to the `send` method in `request.py`, leading to unvalidated GET requests on lines 339-343. This vulnerability enables attackers to craft malicious requests to internal and external resources, potentially granting them access to restricted data or functionality. Fortunately, this issue has been rectified in Whoogle Search version 0.8.4.
