DescriptionCrawl4AI before 0.9.3 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in PDFContentScrapingStrategy where _get_pdf_path() re-downloads targets with Python requests without egress validation. Authenticated attackers can supply URLs that redirect to internal addresses or use DNS rebinding to access internal services, exfiltrating responses through PDF text extraction in crawl results.
