Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the IamApi endpoints responsible for role and privilege enumeration. An attacker can access sensitive security configuration data by sending authenticated requests to GET /api/roles, GET /api/roles/{name}, or GET /api/privileges without possessing the necessary privileges. This enables the attacker to retrieve the full list of system privileges and role definitions, which can facilitate targeted privilege escalation attacks.
