**Vulnerability:** Initial URL validation for SSRF (e.g., checking scheme and IP address) is insufficient if the HTTP client automatically follows redirects. In `urllib.request.urlopen`, redirects are followed by default, allowing an attacker to bypass initial checks by returning a 302 redirect to an internal IP (like `169.254.169.254` or `127.0.0.1`).
**Learning:** `urllib.request.urlopen` does not inherit the security properties of the initial URL string check. It will follow HTTP redirects unconditionally to any target URL, creating a severe SSRF risk when dealing with external API endpoints that can be manipulated by malicious responses.
**Prevention:** Explicitly disable redirects by subclassing `urllib.request.HTTPRedirectHandler`, overriding `redirect_request` to raise an `urllib.error.HTTPError`, and using `urllib.request.build_opener(NoRedirectHandler())` instead of the default `urlopen`.
## 2026-07-13 - Complete the Fix for Command Injection Security Theater
**Vulnerability:** Command Injection
**Learning:** Fixing a `shell=True` vulnerability by replacing it with `shell=False` and wrapping the command string in `["/bin/bash", "-lc", command]` is incomplete and still leaves the code vulnerable to shell injection. It acts as security theater, as it misleads linters while executing untrusted input via the bash wrapper. The vulnerability was still present in `sandboxed_web_e2e.py`.
**Prevention:** Remove `/bin/bash` wrapper from `subprocess` calls in CI scripts. Always use `shlex.split(command)` to safely parse strings into a list of arguments and pass the list directly to `subprocess.Popen` or `subprocess.run`.
