Background

Apache Batik is an open-source Java-based toolkit for rendering SVG images. It provides a set of APIs and utilities for manipulating and displaying SVG content. The vulnerability affects Apache XML Graphics Batik version 1.16. This package is commonly used in applications that handle SVG images and graphics. The vulnerability allows for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), enabling a malicious SVG file to probe user profile/data and send it as a parameter to a URL.

Vulnerability Detail
