Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Interpretation Conflict due to not verifying the source of the X-Forwarded-For and X-Real-IP headers both in the Python code and the go code.

Note:

Only authentik setups that are directly accessible by users without a reverse proxy are susceptible to this.
