Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
PowSyBl Core's powsybl-math package (Maven com.powsybl:powsybl-math) versions 6.3.0 up to but not including 6.7.2 is vulnerable to unsafe deserialization in the SparseMatrix.read method. An attacker who can supply serialized SparseMatrix data through an InputStream, such as a user of a multi-tenant application or an external source feeding a local tool, could escalate privileges. Upgrade to powsybl-math 6.7.2 or later; until then, avoid using SparseMatrix.read to deserialize data.
