Summary

Kan versions 0.5.5 through 0.6.0 contain a server-side request forgery flaw (CWE-918) in the /api/download/attatchment route. The flaw results from an incomplete fix for an earlier issue. When S3_ENDPOINT is unset, the route passes a user-supplied url parameter to fetch(), so an unauthenticated remote attacker can make the server read internal services, localhost ports and cloud instance metadata.
