Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the policy evaluation process when egress.toGroups.aws.securityGroupsIds references AWS security group IDs that do not exist or are not attached to any network interface. An attacker can gain broader outbound network access than intended by specifying non-existent or unattached security group IDs in policy definitions.
