Machine-written summary

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

LMCache versions 0.3.9 through 0.5.5 (and the 0.5.6 release candidates) are affected when multiprocess mode binds its unauthenticated ZeroMQ transport to a routable address. An attacker who can reach the transport port (5555 by default) can send one crafted message that runs arbitrary code with the privileges of the LMCache process. Upgrade to LMCache 0.5.6, which replaces the unsafe deserialization; until then, keep the transport on localhost or restrict port 5555 with firewall rules.
