    Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Commons IO.

    The org.apache.commons.io.input.XmlStreamReader class may excessively consume CPU resources when

    This issue affects Apache Commons IO: from 2.0 before 2.14.0.

    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.14.0 or later, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2024-47554)
