Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization in namespace and topic management endpoints. An attacker with produce or consume permissions can perform unauthorized operations on partitioned topics, such as unloading topics and triggering compaction, which should be restricted to users with the tenant admin role or superuser role.

Note: The vulnerability allows an authenticated user to read, create, modify, and delete namespace properties in any namespace in any tenant. In Pulsar, namespace properties are reserved for user provided metadata about the namespace.
