-## Effort
-
-M - validation needs careful tests around providers, redirects, and legitimate CDN URLs.
-
-## Risk
-
-MED - overly strict validation can block legitimate playback hosts or subtitle CDNs.
-
-## Confidence
-
-HIGH - provider URLs are accepted and later fetched server-side without target validation.
-
-## Evidence
-
-- `integrations/playback/allanime/sources.go:115-131` accepts any direct `http://` or `https://` source URL that is not detected as an embed.
-- `internal/playback/watch_data.go:181-191` signs subtitle and stream URLs returned by the provider.
-- `internal/playback/handler/proxy_request.go:13-24` creates a server-side GET request to the signed target URL.
-- `internal/playback/handler/proxy_stream.go:33` and `internal/playback/handler/proxy_subtitle.go:34` execute those requests.

-## Resolution Approach
-
-Introduce a proxy target validation boundary before issuing tokens and before fetching token targets. The validation should reject non-HTTP(S) schemes, empty hosts, loopback, private, link-local, and otherwise local network destinations. Because DNS and redirects can change the destination, validation should cover the final network target used by the HTTP client, not only the original string.
-
-Keep legitimate provider/CDN behavior in mind. If a host allowlist is practical for AllAnime and known subtitle hosts, prefer it. If not, use network-range blocking with strong tests and conservative redirect handling.
-
-Apply validation in two places: before signing tokens in playback service code, and again in the proxy handler before `Do` as defense in depth. Add tests for direct stream URLs, subtitle URLs, HLS playlist rewrites, and redirect behavior. Do not include runnable abuse payloads in tests or docs; keep cases generic and defensive.
-
-Verify with `go test ./internal/playback/... ./integrations/playback/allanime/...` and `bun run lint:go` after the lint baseline is fixed.
