Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key via polymorphic join query validation in validateSearchParams.ts, where hidden or read-restricted fields are not rejected when used as filter conditions in polymorphic join queries. An authenticated user with query access can probe field values - including password-reset tokens - by observing differences in query responses, effectively inferring data they are not authorized to read.
