Why should the PHP function `curl_exec` be disabled?

Question

As you know, some php functions will be disabled in shared hosting environments. Search on Google, I found many lists of these features. one of these functions curl_exec, I can’t understand why this function should be disabled? How can this feature be vulnerable?

Answer 1

It can be used to create a self-request loop that blocks the server. It can also be used to personify requests to a site or proxy. If these are good enough reasons to disconnect curl_exex, it really depends on how much you trust the code.
