Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

GHSA-vr79-8m62-wh98: The Maven package ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.validation, versions before 6.9.4, is affected. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach the validator's HTTP service can make it request an attacker-chosen URL, and a URL-prefix matching flaw in credential handling can then send configured authentication tokens to that URL. Upgrade to version 6.9.4 or later.
