Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Interpretation Conflict due to inconsistent parsing of the backfill_id path segment between the authorization dependency and the route handler. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to read, pause, and cancel backfills for other Dags, as well as move queued runs to failed, by supplying specially crafted values for backfill_id.
