Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Spring HATEOAS versions 1.5.6 and earlier, 2.3.0 through 2.4.1, 2.5.0 through 2.5.2, and 3.0.0 through 3.0.3 are affected. The Collection+JSON and UBER deserializers bind properties via reflection without honoring Jackson access-control annotations, so an attacker who can send crafted input to these deserializers may be able to set properties that should be restricted. The source gives few details on the exact impact. Upgrade spring-hateoas to 3.0.4 or 2.5.3, depending on your release line.
