Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function via the api/dump and api/restore endpoints when the admin_api_key is empty. An attacker can access and exfiltrate the entire database, including sensitive user records and feedback data, or overwrite the dataset by sending unauthenticated requests. This is only exploitable if the admin_api_key is left empty, which is the default configuration.
