Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes through the doCertificateUpdate handler in certificates.go. An attacker can change the type of an existing certificate by sending a certificate update request with a different Type value. This allows a caller to alter certificate metadata beyond the intended fields, which can break certificate-based access control and enable unauthorized certificate management on the system.
