Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Craft CMS versions 4.0.0-RC1 up to 4.16.18 and 5.0.0-RC1 up to 5.8.22 are vulnerable to server-side request forgery through the saveAsset GraphQL mutation. The mutation's blocklist check does not recognize alternative IP notations such as hexadecimal forms, so a request using them can reach internal addresses, including cloud metadata services, and save the fetched content. The source does not say what privileges are needed to send the mutation. Upgrade to craftcms/cms 4.16.18 or 5.8.22, depending on your release line.
