Machine-written summary

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

Apache Jackrabbit packages jackrabbit-spi-commons and jackrabbit-core are affected by a blind XXE (XML external entity) vulnerability in versions 2.20.0 to before 2.20.17, 2.22.0 to before 2.22.1, and 2.23.0-beta to before 2.23.2-beta, caused by an insecure document build used to load privileges. The source does not describe what an attacker must have or how it is triggered, though the blind XXE class implies a crafted XML input is processed. Upgrade jackrabbit-spi-commons and jackrabbit-core to 2.20.17, 2.22.1, or 2.23.2-beta, depending on the branch in use.
