Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization via the session management endpoint. An attacker can access session credentials of other users, including those with higher privileges, by making authenticated requests with knowledge of a target user's identity identifier. This is only exploitable if stateful session storage is used and the session management endpoint is exposed.
