Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Partial String Comparison via the isPublicAdminRoute utility in packages/next/src/utilities/isPublicAdminRoute.ts, which incorrectly marks any route containing the substring /verify/ as a public admin route, regardless of whether it corresponds to a valid collection with authentication enabled. An attacker can craft a request path that includes /verify/ to bypass admin authentication checks and gain unauthorized access to protected admin routes.
