Machine-written summary

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

PocketMine-MP versions before 4.7.2 are affected: the Skin class does not handle errors from the adhocore/json-comment library, which throws an exception instead of returning false as expected. An attacker who can send invalid skin geometry data, such as malformed JSON, can crash the server, and the source does not describe any further impact. Upgrade to PocketMine-MP 4.7.2, which the source lists as the fixed version; the source also mentions a plugin workaround that checks skin geometry data in the login and skin packets.
