Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Craft CMS versions from 4.0.0-RC1 before 4.16.18 and from 5.0.0-RC1 before 5.8.22 are vulnerable to server-side request forgery through the saveAsset GraphQL mutation. The mutation checks the initial URL against a blocklist, but HTTP redirects are followed, so an attacker who can send GraphQL requests could make the server fetch internal addresses, such as cloud metadata endpoints, and save the response as an asset. Upgrade to Craft CMS 4.16.18 or 5.8.22. The source suggests disabling HTTP redirects as a workaround, but it does not say how to do this in Craft CMS.
