Machine-written summary

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

Excelize (github.com/xuri/excelize/v2) versions from 2.3.1 before 2.11.1-0.20260915055537-22f76f9acb94 are affected. A malformed OLE/CFB encrypted workbook passed to OpenFile, OpenReader or OpenBytes causes an unrecovered panic that terminates the calling process, and no password or authentication is needed. Upgrade to 2.11.1-0.20260915055537-22f76f9acb94 or later. The source gives few details on workarounds.
