Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass due to the SetUserGroups functionallity. An attacker can maintain unauthorized access and privileges by logging in after being removed from a group, as the system fails to update and remove old group memberships, appending new data instead of replacing it. This is only exploitable if the system configuration relies on group-based authorization and does not handle group revocations properly.
