SpecifyJS is a declarative TypeScript user interface framework. Prior to version 0.2.136, when `new URL()` throws a parse error, the `assertSecureUrl` function returned without throwing, silently allowing the request to proceed without HTTPS validation. Starting in version 0.2.136, the catch block now throws an error instead of silently returning.
Server-Side Request Forgery The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.
