http-api: T9223: add VRF option to traceroute REST API endpoint - #5414
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe REST API now supports ping requests and optional VRF values for ping and traceroute. ChangesNetwork diagnostics API support
Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new VRF option accepts unvalidated input that can be interpreted as shell commands, potentially allowing an API caller to execute commands with the service's privileges. The PR is not merge-ready until the value is safely validated or command execution avoids the shell. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)
