GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. The OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) specification is designed to process information from any server using GET and POST requests. This presents the opportunity for Server Side Request Forgery. This vulnerability has been patched in version 2.22.5 and 2.23.2.
