Machine-written summary

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

Versions of golang.org/x/net before 0.62.0 are affected. An attacker who can supply HTML that a program re-renders may be able to cause the rendered output to be parsed into a different namespace on re-parsing, which can change how the content is interpreted. The source gives few details on the exact impact. Upgrade to golang.org/x/net 0.62.0 or later.
