Machine-written summary

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

GHSA-h4r5-mxv5-8mjc affects github.com/getkin/kin-openapi versions 0.145.0 up to but not including 0.146.0. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach an endpoint validated against a spec with a query parameter using deepObject style can send requests with many unused query keys, forcing repeated regexp compilation and consuming CPU (denial of service). Upgrade to version 0.146.0, which fixes the issue.
