Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key via the id parameter in playlist operations. An attacker can access or delete other users' playlists, and probe for the existence of arbitrary files by supplying a crafted base64-encoded value containing path traversal sequences. This allows bypassing ownership checks and escaping the intended directory containment.
