Machine-written summary

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

Spring Cloud Config server (org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-config-server) versions 3.1.0 through 3.1.13, 4.1.0 through 4.1.9, 4.2.0 through 4.2.6, 4.3.0 through 4.3.2, and 5.0.0 through 5.0.2 are affected when Google Secrets Manager is used as the backend. A client can craft a request that may expose secrets from GCP projects other than the intended one. Upgrade to 4.3.3 or 5.0.3; for the 3.1.x, 4.1.x and 4.2.x lines, the source says the fixed releases are available to Enterprise Support customers only.
