Machine-written summary

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

Apache Atlas versions from 0.8 up to but not including 2.5.0 are affected. An attacker who can send queries to the DSL search endpoint can craft query strings that alter Gremlin traversal logic and access data they should not see. For versions 2.0.0 and later, exploitation requires the non-default setting atlas.dsl.executor.traversal=false. Upgrade to Apache Atlas 2.5.0, which fixes the issue.
