Machine-written summary

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

Oasdiff versions from 1.13.2 through 1.18.0 do not enforce the external-refs=false setting when loading a spec from a git revision (the rev:path form). An attacker who can supply an untrusted spec and get it processed under that setting can still cause external $ref resolution, enabling server-side request forgery to internal hosts or reading local files. Upgrade to github.com/oasdiff/oasdiff version 1.18.1, which enforces the setting on this path; avoiding git-revision input for untrusted specs is an alternative workaround.
