 1. Maintain a list of sensitive values (tokens, keys).
 2. Ensure logging utilities check against this list and mask values before outputting.
 
-## 2025-01-21 - [SSRF Protection and Input Limits]
-**Vulnerability:** The `folder_url` validation checked for HTTPS but allowed internal IP addresses (e.g., `127.0.0.1`, `10.0.0.0/8`). This could theoretically allow Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) if the script is run in an environment with access to sensitive internal services. Additionally, `profile_id` had no length limit.
-**Learning:** HTTPS validation alone is insufficient to prevent SSRF against internal services that might support HTTPS or use self-signed certs (if verification was disabled or bypassed). Explicitly blocking private IP ranges provides necessary defense-in-depth.
+## 2025-01-21 - [SSRF Protection via DNS Resolution]
+**Vulnerability:** The `folder_url` validation checked for private IP literals but missed domain names that resolve to private IPs (e.g., `localtest.me` -> `127.0.0.1`). This allowed SSRF attacks against internal services using public DNS names.
+**Learning:** String-based hostname validation is insufficient for SSRF protection because DNS resolution can bypass it.
 **Prevention:**
-1. Parse URLs and check hostnames against `localhost` and private IP ranges using `ipaddress` module.
-2. Enforce strict length limits on user inputs (e.g., profile IDs) to prevent resource exhaustion or buffer abuse.
+1. Resolve hostnames to IP addresses using `socket.getaddrinfo`.
+2. Check resolved IPs against private/loopback ranges using `ipaddress` before allowing the request.
