CVE-2026-55525: praisonaiagents web_crawl vulnerable to SSRF via redirect-following
web_crawl (an exported, model-callable tool) validates only the INITIAL URL’s resolved IP against a private/loopback blocklist, then fetches with httpx.Client(follow_redirects=True) and never re-validates redirect targets.
An attacker who controls the agent’s crawl target (a malicious task, or prompt injection inside any page the agent already crawls) supplies a public URL that HTTP 302-redirects to an internal address. httpx follows the redirect, fetches the internal resource (cloud metadata 169.254.169.254, localhost services, internal APIs), and returns its body into the agent context. This bypasses the SSRF protection added to fix the earlier web_crawl SSRF reports, so it is an incomplete fix for that class. httpx is the default crawl provider on a stock pip install praisonaiagents, so no provider configuration is required.
