Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass by Spoofing due to improper validation of user-supplied input in the authentication mechanism. An attacker can bypass authentication controls by spoofing a legitimate user's credentials. This vulnerability is particularly concerning because it allows unauthorized access to the system, potentially leading to further exploitation such as data theft, system manipulation, or the deployment of malicious software.

Note:

Enabling the "Whitelist-IP/port" function improves the security of RESTful-API execution.
