Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The H2O package for Maven (ai.h2o:h2o-core) and PyPI (h2o) is vulnerable in versions up to and including 3.46.0.7, due to a deserialization flaw in how JDBC connection parameters are handled. The source says an attacker can bypass regular expression checks using double URL encoding, which can allow reading arbitrary system files and executing arbitrary code. No fixed version is listed, so the source gives no upgrade path; check the advisory for any mitigation guidance.
