Machine-written summary

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

Apache Shiro (org.apache.shiro:shiro-core) versions before 1.13.0 and from 2.0.0-alpha1 before 2.0.0-alpha4 are affected. A path traversal flaw can lead to an authentication bypass when Shiro is used together with path rewriting, and the source gives few details on the exact conditions. Upgrade to 1.13.0 or 2.0.0-alpha4 or later; if upgrading is not possible, keep the blockSemicolon setting enabled, which is the default.
