Summary

The Apache Axis 1.4 distribution, last released in 2006, has a Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. This issue arises when the server is tricked into making requests on behalf of users, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data exposure. Despite continuous security and bug commits in the Axis 1.x Subversion repository, users are encouraged to migrate to Axis2 (version 1.7.9 and later) to mitigate this risk. Legacy users should consider rebuilding from source to incorporate the necessary security patches.
