Shepherd (shepherd-ai) through 0.3.1 contains a server-side request forgery guard bypass in the citation-checker extra because the public_url guard validates a resolved address but fetch re-resolves the hostname at connect time. Attackers who plant a crafted reference URL in a checked document and control its DNS can rebind it to internal addresses, sending GET requests to internal HTTP(S) services and capturing responses in evidence files.
