# Browser extension proxy endpoint lets anyone make server fetch arbitrary URLs

A public proxy endpoint in the extension fetches a URL supplied by the visitor, and one HTTP method skips the authorization check that protects the others. An unauthenticated attacker can make the server send requests to internal or external hosts and learn status codes and selected headers, which allows probing of internal hosts and ports.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## From the sources

The extension provides a public proxy endpoint that fetches a URL on behalf of the visitor. For one HTTP request method, the endpoint does not apply the authorization check that protects the other methods, so the URL it fetches is fully controlled by the requester. An unauthenticated attacker can make the server send requests to arbitrary internal or external hosts. The attacker receives the status code and selected response headers, which allows probing of internal hosts and ports. Response bodies are not disclosed.
