Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization when operator-imposed bound_locations restrictions are in effect, due to missing validation of Azure-issued JWTs against vm_name or vmss_name values. A user can bypass the intended geographic restrictions by maliciously passing in a valid but unauthorized name for one of those parameters.
