Machine-written summary

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

GeoNetwork's gn-web-app and gn-wfsfeature-harvester packages are vulnerable in versions 4.2.0 to before 4.2.13 and 4.4.0 to before 4.4.8. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit an XML External Entity flaw in the WFS indexing REST API endpoint to read sensitive files. Upgrade to 4.4.8 or 4.2.13. As a workaround, remove the gn-wfsfeature-harvester and gn-camelPeriodicProducer jars to disable WFS indexing.
