The most ordinary feature in your product, the preview that shows up when someone pastes a link, just served as a door for a swarm of agents. The fifteen minute test to run on your own product, and the five questions to ask any story that opens a link.
You added link previews to your product because they looked nice, users expected them, and the story was estimated at three points. Nobody invited security to refinement: it was a display feature.

What you walk away with: a fifteen minute test on your own product, and five questions to ask any story that opens a link. What changes (PO, PM, designer, scrum master, tech lead): a feature that opens a page on someone's behalf is not a display feature, it is a browser you lend to a stranger.
