TL;DR

The WEBSERVICE() calculation function validates a target URL's host against a configured domain whitelist but fetches the content with file_get_contents() while allowing HTTP redirects to be followed. Because redirect targets are not re-validated against the whitelist, an attacker-supplied spreadsheet can point WEBSERVICE() at a whitelisted host that issues a 302 redirect to an internal address. This lets a crafted file reach internal services and read cloud metadata, bypassing the allowlist as a full-read SSRF. The fix disables redirect following in the stream context and returns a not-implemented sentinel for disallowed hosts.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and your application evaluates the WEBSERVICE() function on untrusted spreadsheets with a configured domain whitelist.
