That's not fixing the bug, that's deleting features.

Users want the agent to be able to run curl to an arbitrary domain when they ask it to (directly or indirectly). They don't want the agent to do it when some external input maliciously tries to get the agent to do it.

That's not trivial at all.

Implementing an allowlist is pretty common practice for just about anything that accesses external stuff. Heck, Windows Firewall does it on every install. It's a bit of friction for a lot of security.
