**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
tindy2013 subconverter version 0.6.4
**Description**
The issue concerns a /sub?target=%TARGET%&url=%URL%&config=%CONFIG% API endpoint that accepts an arbitrary %URL% value and launches a GET request for it. However, it does not account for the possibility that the external request target may indirectly redirect back to this original /sub endpoint, potentially leading to a request loop and a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For version 0.6.4, consider disabling the /sub API endpoint until a patch is available to prevent potential denial of service attacks. Restrict access to this endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `url` parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
