Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache Neethi versions before 3.2.2 are affected. When an application explicitly calls the PolicyReference API to fetch a policy from a remote URI, Neethi does not restrict the URI, so an attacker who can influence that URI can make the server send requests to arbitrary protocols and internal IP addresses. Upgrade to Apache Neethi 3.2.2, which allows only http and https URIs and blocks link-local, multicast and any-local addresses.
