Description

A private RFC 1918/RFC 4193 address was identified in the target application. Public facing websites should not be issuing requests to private IP Addresses. Attackers attempting to execute subsequent attacks, such as Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), may be able to use this information to identify additional internal targets.
