Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Apache CXF's cxf-rt-rs-service-description component is vulnerable to server-side request forgery through its WADL service description when a custom stylesheet parameter is configured. The source does not describe what attacker access is required, but an attacker could use the flaw to make server-side requests to resources on the attacker's behalf. Upgrade to version 4.0.5, 3.6.4, or 3.5.9, depending on the release line in use.
