Machine-written summary

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

Thymeleaf (org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf, thymeleaf-spring5 and thymeleaf-spring6) versions before 3.1.4.RELEASE are affected. An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass the library's expression protections when an application passes unvalidated user input directly to the template engine, which allows server-side template injection. Upgrade to 3.1.4.RELEASE; the source lists no workaround other than avoiding passing unvalidated input to the template engine.
