Machine-written summary

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

Excelize (github.com/xuri/excelize/v2) versions from 2.1.0 before 2.11.1-0.20260930021559-01a9ff32fb3c are affected. A crafted XLSX file passed to GetRows or the Rows iterator can exhaust CPU for days, causing denial of service. Upgrade to 2.11.1-0.20260930021559-01a9ff32fb3c or later.
