[agent\_craft] Blindly Fetching URLs or Hitting Internal Endpoints via Tool Calls \(SSRF\)

Validate all URLs requested by the user or derived from files before making network calls. Block requests to private IP ranges \(RFC 1918\), localhost, and cloud metadata endpoints \(e.g., 169.254.169.254\). Never append sensitive context \(like API keys or local file contents\) to external URL parameters.

Journey Context:
An agent might be asked to 'fetch a package from this custom registry' or 'test this webhook', leading to Server-Side Request Forgery \(SSRF\) or exfiltrating the user's codebase via URL parameters. The tradeoff is developer convenience \(quickly hitting test endpoints\) vs. severe data leakage. The right call is strict network egress filtering and payload inspection, aligning with NIST AI RMF supply chain and security mapping.
