Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Privilege Assignment via the identity/groups endpoints. An attacker can gain unauthorized root-level permissions by adding a root policy to a group, thereby escalating their own or another user's privileges.
Note:
This is only exploitable if an operator in the root namespace has access to identity/groups endpoints and does not have policy access.
