Machine-written summary

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

mchange-commons-java versions before 0.4.0 include a JNDI implementation that can download and run code from a remote factoryClassLocation. An attacker who can get an application to read a maliciously crafted JNDI Reference or serialized object could cause remote code execution, even where the JDK's own protections are enabled. Upgrade to mchange-commons-java 0.4.0 or later, which gates this functionality behind restrictive configuration defaults. The source lists no workaround other than upgrading.
