Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Privilege Assignment due to the misuse of SET ROLE and SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION features. An attacker can view or modify data intended for different user roles by manipulating application queries that rely on user session settings. This is only exploitable if the application uses these features to control data access based on user roles.
