CVE-2026-42404

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. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.2, which fixes this issue.

Summary		(es) Apache Neethi no impone ninguna restricción en las URI al recuperar manualmente referencias de políticas remotas a través de la API PolicyReference. Cuando una aplicación llama explícitamente a la API para recuperar una política de una URI remota, se realiza una solicitud saliente para protocolos arbitrarios y direcciones IP internas. A partir de 3.2.2, solo se permiten URI HTTP o HTTPS, y las direcciones link-local/multicast/any-local están prohibidas. Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 3.2.2, que soluciona este problema.
