{"id":"GHSA-287c-fxr7-3w6c","summary":"Apache Neethi doesn't impose any restrictions on URIs when manually fetching remote policy references through the PolicyReference API","details":"Apache Neethi does not impose any restrictions on URIs when manually fetching remote policy references through the PolicyReference API. When an application explicitly calls the API to retrieve a policy from a remote URI, an outbound request is made for arbitrary protocols and internal IP adddresses. From 3.2.2, only http or https URIs are allowed, and link-local/multicast/any-local addresses are forbidden.\n\nUsers are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.2, which fixes this issue.","aliases":["CVE-2026-42404"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:45.269717658Z","published":"2026-05-01T12:30:24Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed_at":"2026-05-07T02:54:54Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-05-01T11:16:19Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-918"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-42404"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/apache/ws-neethi"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread/zdspnt64zznyjyn648553kptx69w23oq"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/05/01/8"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"org.apache.neethi:neethi","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.neethi/neethi"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.2.2"}]}],"versions":["2.0","2.0.1","2.0.2","2.0.3","2.0.4","2.0.5","3.0.0","3.0.1","3.0.2","3.0.3","3.1.0","3.1.1","3.2.0","3.2.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/05/GHSA-287c-fxr7-3w6c/GHSA-287c-fxr7-3w6c.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"}]}
