A critical Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the compass-guarded-transfer CLI tool allowed attackers to make HTTP requests to internal services and cloud metadata endpoints. The `normalizeInput` function in `run-transfer.mjs` validated that URLs started with "https://" but failed to prevent requests to private IP ranges like AWS metadata (169.254.169.254) or localhost, enabling potential credential theft and internal network reconnaissance.
