Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub. Prior to versions 3.5.14, 4.0.10, 4.1.8, and 4.2.0-rc2, under certain circumstances, attackers can exploit a flaw in domain name normalization to spoof domains they do not own. Versions 3.5.14, 4.0.10, 4.1.8, and 4.2.0-rc2 contain a patch for this issue.

Weakness

The product uses a name or reference to access a resource, but the name/reference resolves to a resource that is outside of the intended control sphere.
