The application does not properly validate the input for the '--license' and '--public-key' arguments, which could allow an attacker to provide malicious inputs that lead to server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks. This can be exploited by providing a crafted URL or file path that triggers unintended requests from the server.
Impact:
An attacker could exploit SSRF to access internal resources, potentially leading to data leakage, unauthorized actions, and system compromise.
Mitigation:
Implement input validation mechanisms to ensure only expected inputs are accepted. Use whitelisting approaches instead of strict string matching to validate file paths and URLs. Consider using a safe-list approach that allows only known good patterns or predefined sets of allowed values.
