Overview

whoogle-search is a Self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the window endpoint which does not properly sanitize user-supplied input from the location variable before passing it to the send method. An attacker can craft malicious GET requests to internal and external resources on behalf of the server, accessing resources on the internal network that are not publicly accessible.
