Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the autoAllowSkills process. An attacker can execute unauthorized skills without operator approval by exploiting a skill-name collision when autoAllowSkills is enabled and the allowlist evaluator matches a path-scoped executable to a skill bin name. This is only exploitable if autoAllowSkills=true, system.run is configured with security=allowlist, and ask=on-miss is set.
