Summary
Firecrawl before 2.11.586 contains a server-side request forgery flaw (CWE-918) in the Playwright service SSRF proxy. A remote attacker without privileges or user interaction who controls DNS for a scrape target can return a public address during validation and a private address at connect time, bypassing the isInternalHost checks. This lets the attacker retrieve cloud metadata and internal resources through the scrape API.
