I suspect my app is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery SSRF due to dynamic URL fetching How can I secure it without affecting functionality

0 votes
My app dynamically fetches URLs based on user input, and I’m concerned it could be vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). However, I need to retain this feature for the app’s functionality, so removing it isn’t an option.

Are there specific methods or libraries I can use to filter or validate the URLs securely? I’d appreciate advice on securing this feature without compromising the app’s intended use.
