Machine-written summary

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

Apache Commons IO versions from 2.0 before 2.14.0 are vulnerable. The XmlStreamReader class can consume excessive CPU when it processes maliciously crafted input, so an attacker who can supply such input to the reader can cause a denial of service. Upgrade to Apache Commons IO 2.14.0 or later, which fixes the issue.
