Machine-written summary

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

OpenMetadata's openmetadata-service Maven package, versions before 1.2.4, is vulnerable to SpEL injection through the PUT /api/v1/events/subscriptions endpoint. An attacker who has an authenticated user account can supply a crafted expression that is evaluated before the authorization check runs, which may lead to remote code execution on the server. Upgrade openmetadata-service to version 1.2.4 or later.
