Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Karate Mock Server (io.karatelabs:karate-core, versions 2.0.1 up to but not including 2.1.0) can evaluate Karate embedded expressions found in HTTP request body, headers, or query parameters when a Mock Server feature assigns request-derived values such as request, requestHeaders, or requestParams to variables. An unauthenticated remote attacker who can reach the Mock Server can use this to run arbitrary operating-system commands under the privileges of the server process. Upgrade to karate-core 2.1.0 or later.
