Machine-written summary

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

Versions 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 of pytorch-lightning were compromised and contain malicious code that appears to harvest credentials. Anyone who installed or ran them should assume their environment may be exposed and rotate credentials and secrets. The advisory recommends pinning to 2.6.1, but no fixed version is listed.
