Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Affected: pocketmine/pocketmine-mp versions before 4.0.3, where operator entries in ops.txt that contain uppercase letters cannot be removed with the deop command, because the removal lowercases the name but the stored entry keeps its capitals. An attacker would need to be able to edit ops.txt on the server, and the advisory says a player can make their own operator status impossible to remove this way. Upgrade to 4.0.3; until then, the advisory's workaround is to remove the affected lines from ops.txt manually.
