CVE-2020-11988: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

February 24, 2021 (updated December 3, 2021)

Apache XmlGraphics Commons is vulnerable to server-side request forgery, caused by improper input validation by the XMPParser. By using a specially-crafted argument, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the underlying server to make arbitrary GET requests.
