Start from `src/infra/net/fetch-guard.ts` and inspect how `fetchWithSsrFGuard` handles redirects, especially cross-origin 307/308 responses and any helper used to retain or strip headers. This source file has a known vulnerability sink in it. Traverse the codebase and report the vulnerability. You can report multiple vulnerabilities. Ground your report in whether unsafe request bodies and body-describing headers are replayed to a different origin, and identify any opt-in flag that changes that behavior.

{
"executiveSummary": "Repository inspection confirms a grounded vulnerability in `fetchWithSsrFGuard`'s cross-origin redirect handling: when callers opt in via `allowCrossOriginUnsafeRedirectReplay: true`, 307/308 redirects to a different origin replay the original unsafe request body and retain body-describing headers such as `Content-Type`. The helper in `src/infra/net/redirect-headers.ts` intentionally preserves `content-type`, and `rewriteRedirectInitForCrossOrigin()` skips body/header stripping entirely under that flag. Tests in `fetch-guard.ssrf.test.ts` explicitly validate this behavior for cross-origin 307 and 308 redirects. I did not validate additional distinct vulnerabilities beyond this opt-in replay issue.",
"reports": [
{
"title": "Cross-origin 307/308 redirects can replay unsafe request bodies and body-describing headers when `allowCrossOriginUnsafeRedirectReplay` is enabled",
"severity": "HIGH",
"summary": "`fetchWithSsrFGuard` follows redirects manually. For cross-origin redirects, it normally drops unsafe request bodies for non-GET/HEAD methods, but if `allowCrossOriginUnsafeRedirectReplay` is set to `true`, it preserves the original body. It then applies `retainSafeHeadersForCrossOriginRedirect()`, whose safe-list includes `content-type`. As a result, a cross-origin 307/308 response can cause a POST/PUT body and body-describing headers to be resent to a different origin.",
"rootCauseAnalysis": "In `src/infra/net/fetch-guard.ts`, `rewriteRedirectInitForCrossOrigin()` returns the original `init` unchanged whenever `allowUnsafeReplay` is true. During redirect handling, cross-origin redirects call this function with `allowUnsafeReplay: params.allowCrossOriginUnsafeRedirectReplay === true`, then call `retainSafeHeadersForCrossOriginRedirect(currentInit)`. The imported helper from `src/infra/net/redirect-headers.ts` preserves a fixed allowlist that includes `content-type` and `content-language`. Therefore, for cross-origin 307/308 redirects, the method/body are retained and body-describing headers are also retained when the opt-in flag is enabled.",
"impact": "If an application uses `fetchWithSsrFGuard` with `allowCrossOriginUnsafeRedirectReplay: true` to send sensitive POST/PUT/PATCH data, an attacker controlling or influencing the first origin's redirect response can cause that payload to be forwarded to a different origin. This can expose request bodies containing secrets, tokens, uploaded content, or PII, along with headers describing the body format. Although sensitive auth headers like `Authorization` and `Cookie` are stripped, the body itself is still disclosed.",
"attackPath": "1. An application sends an unsafe request (for example, POST with a sensitive body) using `fetchWithSsrFGuard` and sets `allowCrossOriginUnsafeRedirectReplay: true`.\n2. The first destination responds with HTTP 307 or 308 and a `Location` pointing to an attacker-controlled different origin.\n3. `fetchWithSsrTool calls
