compliance-trestle vulnerability

What happened

compliance-trestle is a tooling platform for managing compliance as code. Prior to versions 3.12.2 and 4.0.3, the HTTPSFetcher._do_fetch() method passes a user-supplied URL directly to requests.get() without validation. This allows an attacker to perform Server-Side Request Forgery, targeting internal services or cloud metadata endpoints. Versions 3.12.2 and 4.0.3 fix the issue.

Affected versions

compliance-trestle: >= 4.0.0, < 4.0.3; < 3.12.2 Fixed: See vendor advisory.
