Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
ProcessWire versions 3.0.255 and earlier (processwire/processwire) contain a server-side request forgery flaw in the admin panel's 'Add Module From URL' feature. An authenticated administrator can supply arbitrary URLs, causing the server to send outbound requests to internal or external hosts, and differing error messages can be used to scan internal ports and enumerate hosts. No fixed version is listed.
