Machine-written summary

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

Micronaut's HTTP client, io.micronaut:micronaut-http-client, is vulnerable in versions before 3.10.7, from 4.0.0-M1 before 4.10.24, and from 5.0.0-M1 before 5.0.1. The client does not limit the number of HTTP redirects it follows, so a server it contacts can trigger an infinite redirect loop, causing a denial of service. Upgrade to 3.10.7, 4.10.24, or 5.0.1 or later. The source lists no workarounds.
