scripts/webfetch.py
No evidence of intentional malware, data exfiltration, credential theft, persistence, or system compromise is present. The code is a legitimate URL-fetching utility, but unrestricted host access and unvalidated redirects create a potentially significant SSRF risk when used by a server, automation system, or privileged network client. For safer use, resolve and validate every redirect target, block private and link-local ranges including IPv6, and validate timeout and max-chars ranges. The provided fragment also appears syntactically incomplete.
