What it is

⚡ A sneaky SSRF bug in PlantUML could let attackers request any resource on the server — and that's a big deal! 🚨 Think of it like a restaurant where the waiter can order anything from the kitchen, even if it’s top secret. If the waiter doesn’t verify the orders, a crafty customer could request ingredients they shouldn’t have access to. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access internal services or sensitive data, potentially leading to even more serious issues like data leaks or unauthorized actions. It's like giving away the secret recipe in a high-stakes cooking competition—absolutely devastating!
