Machine-written summary

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

GHSA-5gj4-9gm7-2fx2: Coraza (github.com/corazawaf/coraza/v3) versions 3.0.0 up to but not including 3.8.1 can have nested JSON values hidden from OWASP CRS inspection. An unauthenticated attacker sends a body with a nested property and a later top-level property whose literal dotted name collides with the flattened path, so the malicious value is overwritten and never inspected while backends still receive it. Upgrade to version 3.8.1 or later, which is listed as the fixed version.
