Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Hazelcast and hazelcast-enterprise (Maven) versions from 5.3.0 before 5.3.5, from 5.2.0 before 5.2.5, and up to 5.1.7 are affected by inadequate permission checking in the SQL mapping for the CSV File Source connector. An unauthorized client could read data from files on a member's filesystem. Upgrade to 5.3.5 or 5.2.5, or to a later release. Disabling the Hazelcast Jet processing engine in the member configuration also avoids the issue, but it stops SQL and Jet jobs from working.
