Machine-written summary

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

The plexus-utils package, versions before 3.0.24, is vulnerable to XML injection. The XmlWriterUtil writeComment method does not sanitize comment text for the "-->" sequence, so text in a comment can be read as XML markup. The source does not describe what an attacker must control or what the impact would be in practice. Upgrade plexus-utils to version 3.0.24 or later.
