Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) through the Connectivity Check REST API in Splunk SOAR

In Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0, a user with the "Administrator" role could use the /rest/support/connectivity/.../check_connectivity endpoint to make Splunk SOAR initiate outbound network connections to arbitrary destinations and determine whether internal hosts and ports are reachable. The Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is possible because the connectivity check REST API does not sufficiently validate the destination before Splunk SOAR connects to it.
