Fixes GHSA-ggx3-h674-xqq3 for the 1.11.x branch.

  • Prevent DNS rebinding SSRF in the legacy course link checker.
  • Pin outgoing connections to validated public IP addresses.
  • Preserve secure HTTP/HTTPS handling and validate redirect destinations.
  • Prevent proxy-based DNS resolution bypasses.
  • Add regression tests for URL validation and connection security.

Validation:

  • PHP syntax checks passed.
  • PHPUnit: 5 tests passed, 26 assertions.
  • Git diff checks passed.
  • Live DNS-rebinding testing remains pending.
