Descriptions
The inclusion of the web scraper for AnythingLLM means that any user with the proper authorization level (manager, admin, and when in single user) could put in the URL
```
http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/identity-credentials/ec2/security-credentials/ec2-instance
```
which is a special IP and URL that resolves only when the request comes from within an EC2 instance. This would allow the user to see the connection/secret credentials for their specific instance and be able to manage it regardless of who deployed it. The user would have to have pre-existing knowledge of the hosting infra which the target instance is deployed on, but if sent - would resolve if on EC2 and the proper `iptable` or firewall rule is not configured for their setup.
La inclusión del web scraper para AnythingLLM significa que cualquier usuario con el nivel de autorización adecuado (administrador, administrador y cuando sea usuario único) podría ingresar la URL ``` http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ Identity-credentials/ec2/security-credentials/ec2-instance ``` que es una IP y URL especiales que se resuelven solo cuando la solicitud proviene de una instancia EC2. Esto permitiría al usuario ver la conexión/credenciales secretas para su instancia específica y poder administrarla independientemente de quién la haya implementado. El usuario debería tener conocimientos preexistentes de la infraestructura de alojamiento en la que se implementa la instancia de destino, pero si se envía, se resolverá si está en EC2 y no está configurada la regla de firewall o "iptable" adecuada para su configuración.
