CVE-2023-51441

Summary

CVE-2023-51441 introduces an Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Axis, allowing users with admin service access to potentially execute Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks. Affected versions include all releases up to 1.3. Due to the End of Life (EOL) status of Axis 1, the Apache Axis project does not plan to release a fix. Instead, it is recommended to migrate to a new SOAP engine, such as Apache Axis 2/Java, or apply the patch from <https://github.com/apache/axis-axis1-java/commit/685c309febc64aa393b2d64a05f90e7eb9f73e06>. Contributors are welcome to work on a potential fix for Axis 1.x.
