Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.65%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Apache XmlGraphics Commons 2.4 and earlier 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. Users should upgrade to 2.6 or later.
