Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Injection due to improper handling of null bytes %00 in jar: URLs. An attacker can append %00 followed by a fake file extension to a jar: URL, causing the system to ignore the null byte when retrieving the file content but use the fake extension to determine the file type
