Summary
Crawl4AI from 0.8.7 through 0.9.5 contains a server-side request forgery flaw in its Docker API server. An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass destination checks by using URL userinfo that is parsed differently, causing the server to connect to internal hosts on port 443 when fetch_ssl_certificate is set to true. The attacker can probe whether internal hosts are reachable and read certificate details from them.

Description from the CNA
Crawl4AI from 0.8.7 through 0.9.5 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the Docker API server that allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass destination checks via URL userinfo parsing differences. Attackers can set fetch_ssl_certificate=true with crafted userinfo URLs so SSLCertificate.from_url connects to internal hosts on port 443, probing reachability and leaking certificate details.
