Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Default Initialization of Resource allowing an attacker to craft a task token with access to a namespace other than the one specified in the request. This task token must be created outside of the normal Temporal server flow. It requires the namespace UUID and information from the workflow history for the target namespace. Under these conditions, it is possible to interfere with pending tasks in other namespaces, such as marking a task as failed or completed. If a task is targeted for completion by the attacker, the targeted namespace must also use the same data converter configuration as the initial, valid namespace for the task completion payload to be decoded by workers in the target namespace.
