Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the handleReq() function. An attacker can inject unauthorized webhook payloads by sending requests that bypass the intended authentication mechanism, introducing fake CI/CD trace data into the observability pipeline. This is only exploitable if the required_headers configuration is used for authentication without setting a secret value.
