Dylan, I think this is expected behavior, but you take a look at it please?  Thanks!

even i thought that, but Rather than proxying requests on behalf of users, application should have user’s browser retrieve the desired information. If it is necessary to proxy the request, a whitelist should be used on the server side and the User-Agent information should be stripped or modified.

Wow. If this is intended behavior we need to put /some/ rules into which sites we allow. At the very least we shouldn't be allowing insecure http: links.

Using the browser is absolutely out due the obvious ways of gaming
that system.

The user does have to confirm via "Auth Delegation Request".
I note this feature and its current design were both subject to an RRA.

I agree that we should limit it to to https only.

This is the message you have to click through, which is pretty indicative of the action that will be performed.

Marking this as sec-bounty-, as this is working as intended.  Nice job on the patch as always, dylan.  :)

as you notice in response,
you are using squid/3.1.23, which is older version of squid proxy. 
Advisory of 3.1.23 http://www.squid-cache.org/Advisories/SQUID-2012_1.txt (DoS in cachemgr.cgi )
why don't you update it to latest version http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/ ?

Comment 10

[April King [:April]]

Version numbers are notoriously unreliable, as vendors such as Redhat and Canonical backport security patches to older versions.

Comment 14

Comment 15

[Dylan Hardison [:dylan] (he/him)]

it would be better to test bugzilla-dev.allizom.org.
