Machine-written summary

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

Hazelcast (Maven package com.hazelcast:hazelcast) versions before 5.7.0 are affected. A low-privileged malicious client can read arbitrary memory from cluster members and may crash members, or in some Enterprise Edition configurations corrupt memory, potentially leading to remote code execution. Upgrade to 5.7.0, or for Enterprise Edition, to 5.6.1, 5.5.10, or 5.4.5; restrict cluster access to trusted clients only if an upgrade cannot be applied immediately.
