Summary

### Summary

Missing checks allow for SSRF to specific targets using the TestWfsPost enpoint.

### Mitigation

To manage the proxy base value as a system administrator, use the parameter ``PROXY_BASE_URL`` to provide a non-empty value that cannot be overridden by the user interface or incoming request.[thomsmith](https://github.com/thomsmith).

### Resolution

The TestWfsPost has been replaced in GeoServer 2.25.2 and GeoServer 2.24.4 with a JavaScript [Demo Requests](https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/configuration/demos/index.html#demo-requests) page to test OGC Web Services.
