Machine-written summary

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

Spring Security's spring-security-config package, versions 5.7.9 through before 5.7.11, 5.8.4 through before 5.8.7, 6.0.4 through before 6.0.7, and 6.1.1 through before 6.1.4, ships a spring-security.xsd file with world-writable permissions. An attacker who can write to that file after it is extracted from the jar could alter it, though the source reports no known exploits. Upgrade to 5.7.11, 5.8.7, 6.0.7, 6.1.4, or a later version.
