Upgrade grpc_server to version 1.0.0 or higher.

Overview

grpc_server is a GRPC is a fully featured Elixir implementation of the gRPC protocol (grpc.io), enabling efficient communication between services through a unified and stream-oriented API. It supports all RPC types, friendly error handling, TLS, interceptors, reflection, and optional HTTP transcoding.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in the map_request endpoint. An authenticated attacker who can reach a transcoded endpoint can gain unauthorized access to or modify resources belonging to other users by supplying a conflicting value for any path-bound field via the query string or request body, causing the attacker-supplied value to override the intended router-extracted value.

Note: An authenticated attacker can read or modify any other user's resources exposed via transcoded endpoints.
