Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the handling of Slack system events in members.ts and messages.ts due to missing sender authorization checks before enqueueing events.

This is only exploitable if Slack DM allowlists (dmPolicy / allowFrom) or per-channel users allowlists are relied upon for access control.
