Machine-written summary

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

Versions of net.minidev json-smart before 1.3.2, from 2.0.0 before 2.3.1, and from 2.4.0 before 2.4.1 are affected, as are json-smart-mini versions before 1.3.2. An uncaught exception, such as NumberFormatException, can be triggered by parsing crafted JSON input, which may crash programs using the library or expose sensitive information. Upgrade json-smart to 1.3.2, 2.3.1, or 2.4.1 as appropriate, and json-smart-mini to 1.3.2. The source gives few details on the exact attack conditions.
