GHSA-pqhp-25j4-6hq9: smol-toml has a Denial of Service via malicious TOML document using deeply nested inline tables

### Summary An attacker can send a maliciously crafted TOML to cause the parser to crash because of a stack overflow caused by a deeply nested inline structure. A similar problem occurs when attempting to stringify deeply nested objects. The library does not limit the maximum exploration depth while parsing or producing TOML documents, nor does it offer a way to do so. ### Proof of concept ```js require("smol-toml").parse("e=" + "{e=".repeat(9999) + "{}" + "}".repeat(9999)) ``` ### Impact Applications which parse arbitrary TOML documents may suffer availability issues if they receive malicious input. If uncaught, the crash may cause the application itself to crash. The impact is deemed minor, as the function is already likely to throw errors on invalid input and therefore to properly handle errors. Due to the design of most JavaScript runtimes, the uncontrolled recursion does not lead to excessive memory usage and the execution is quickly aborted. As a reminder, it is **strongly**...

GHSA-rmxg-6qqf-x8mr: GeoNode Server Side Request forgery

### Summary A server side request forgery vuln was found within geonode when testing on a bug bounty program. Server side request forgery allows a user to request information on the internal service/services. ### Details The endpoint /proxy/?url= does not properly protect against SSRF. when using the following format you can request internal hosts and display data. /proxy/?url=http://169.254.169.254\@whitelistedIPhere. This will state wether the AWS internal IP is alive. If you get a 404, the host is alive. A non alive host will not display a response. To display metadata, use a hashfrag on the url /proxy/?url=http://169.254.169.254\@#whitelisteddomain.com or try /proxy/?url=http://169.254.169.254\@%23whitelisteddomain.com ### Impact Port scan internal hosts, and request information from internal hosts.
