## Summary

The rybakit/msgpack PHP library, which handles MessagePack data encoding and decoding, is affected by this vulnerability. An attacker can send a specially crafted input to the library's unpacking function, causing it to recurse without limit and leading to a denial of service that makes the affected application unresponsive.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.
