Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Vitess (vitess.io/vitess) versions before 0.16.1 allow a keyspace whose name contains "/" characters to be created, which causes VTAdmin and vtctldclient GetKeyspaces to return errors when listing keyspaces. An attacker or a user making a mistake can trigger this by creating such a keyspace, and the impact is denial of access to keyspace listing, though other keyspaces can still be managed through vtctldclient. Upgrade to version 0.16.1 or later; a workaround is to delete the offending keyspace using vtctldclient.
