Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the extract_opengraph_data process. An attacker can access internal image resources and expose otherwise restricted content by submitting a crafted external page containing an Open Graph image tag that points to an internal URL, which is then fetched and cached by the server.
