Machine-written summary

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

GHSA-36mm-w85j-3q2j concerns the org.verapdf:validation-model and org.verapdf:validation-model-jakarta Maven packages, versions 1.17.35 up to but not including 1.30.2, and 1.31.1 up to but not including 1.31.71. A remote attacker who gets the target to validate a crafted PDF with a malicious XFA stream against the PDF/UA-1 profile can read arbitrary files on the server and perform server-side request forgery. Upgrade to 1.30.2 or 1.31.71.
