Summary
Company Research Agent through 2.2.0 from guy-hartstein contains a server-side request forgery flaw (CWE-918). The /generate-pdf endpoint does not escape ReportLab paragraph markup in report_content, so injected inline img elements make the server fetch internal or external hosts. An unauthenticated remote attacker can leak image responses in returned PDFs and probe host reachability.
