Machine-written summary

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

Apache Pulsar's org.apache.pulsar:pulsar-functions-worker package, in versions 2.4.0 through 2.10.5, 2.11.0 through 2.11.3, 3.0.0 through 3.0.2, 3.1.0 through 3.1.2, and 3.2.0, has a directory traversal flaw in how it extracts uploaded jar or nar archives. An authenticated user who uploads a crafted archive can create or modify files outside the extraction directory, which may affect system behavior. The Pulsar Broker is also affected when functionsWorkerEnabled=true. Upgrade to 2.10.6, 2.11.4, 3.0.3, 3.1.3, or 3.2.1 or later.
