Machine-written summary

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

Flask-CORS versions before 6.0.0 are affected. The source says the library decodes URL paths in a way that turns '+' into a space, so CORS settings may fail to match the intended endpoints, which can allow unintended cross-origin access or block valid requests. The source gives few details on the exact conditions an attacker needs. Upgrade flask-cors to version 6.0.0 or later.
