Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Affected: io.appium:java-client versions 8.2.1 up to but not including 10.1.1. When directConnect(true) is enabled, the client accepts the host, port and path for a redirect from the Appium server's new-session response and sends all later session traffic there without checking the destination. An attacker who can make the Appium server return such a response can intercept session traffic and reach internal hosts. Upgrade to 10.1.1 or later.
