🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) bypass due to urllib.request.urlopen automatically following HTTP redirects natively.
🎯 Impact: An attacker can bypass strict upfront domain and IP validation by pointing the application to a safe external server that issues a 301/302 HTTP redirect to an internal IP (like 127.0.0.1 or AWS Metadata 169.254.169.254). The default opener follows this redirect.
πŸ”§ Fix: Swapped out the default urlopen with a custom build_opener(NoRedirectHandler()) that explicitly blocks and errors on redirects by overriding redirect_request in a custom urllib.request.HTTPRedirectHandler.
βœ… Verification: Ran unit tests and mocked OpenerDirector.open to ensure no functionality is broken and code is fully covered.

Python's urllib.request.urlopen automatically follows HTTP redirects (301, 302, etc.) natively by default. When the CLI or webhook dispatcher takes user-provided URLs (like webhook target URL or CLI --push url), we first validate the host and scheme, but a malicious target could return a redirect to `http://localhost` or `http://169.254.169.254`. Since `urlopen` blindly follows this redirect internally, the SSRF check is bypassed.

This commit introduces a custom `NoRedirectHandler` extending `urllib.request.HTTPRedirectHandler` that explicitly raises an `HTTPError` when a redirect is attempted, preventing SSRF escapes to internal networks.

The GitHub CI Semgrep OSS check failed because it flagged `from importlib import resources` as a Python 3.7+ compatibility issue, despite `pyproject.toml` requiring `>=3.9`.

As documented in `.jules/sentinel.md` learnings, this CI rule failure can be bypassed by using a flat import `import importlib.resources` along with an inline suppression directive `# nosemgrep: python.lang.compatibility.python37.python37-compatibility-importlib2` to ensure formatting tools like `isort` and `black` do not line-wrap the statement and break the directive.
