Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Lemmy (the lemmy_api_common crate, versions before 0.19.18) is vulnerable to server-side request forgery. An authenticated low-privileged user who creates a link post in a public community can cause the server to send Webmention requests to internal or loopback addresses, because the submitted URL is only checked for http or https syntax. The source describes this as a blind SSRF, which could expose internal services and trigger internal endpoints. Upgrade to lemmy_api_common 0.19.18 or later.
