Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the contains query operator on relationship, upload, and join fields, where access control filters injected for a related collection are not scoped to the same document as the user's filter. An unauthenticated remote attacker can craft a nested contains query that causes the access constraint and the user-supplied filter to resolve against different related documents, allowing the attacker to read data from related collections that should be restricted by access control rules.
