How to fix?

Upgrade fof/byobu to version 1.1.7 or higher.

Overview

fof/byobu is a well integrated, advanced private discussions plugin for your Flarum forum

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization due to the user preference to prevent private discussions not being respected, which allows creating a private discussion with a user who disabled them.

Note:

Admins and others with appropriate permissions can always bypass this preference, regardless of version.
