Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The PlantUML Macro for XWiki (Maven org.xwiki.contrib.plantuml:macro-plantuml-macro) versions before 2.4.1 is vulnerable to server-side request forgery. The macro's server parameter accepts any URL without validation, so an attacker who can edit content can make the XWiki server connect to internal or external addresses of their choice. Upgrade to version 2.4.1, which checks the supplied server against XWiki's trusted domains.
