CrawlForge v5.0.0 fixes SSRF, OAuth, and secret leaks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

CrawlForge has released version 5.0.0 of its MCP Server, focusing on security and correctness improvements rather than new features. This update addresses seven critical bugs identified during an internal audit, including a significant Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that could expose internal networks and cloud metadata. The release also enhances security around OAuth flows, prevents secret leakage in telemetry and logs, and refines credit checking for billing. Additionally, the update ensures MCP protocol compliance and updates the required Node.js version to 20.16.0. AI

IMPACT Enhances security for tools processing AI-generated URLs, preventing potential data breaches and unauthorized access.
