Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in the connections/test API endpoint due to improper enforcement of team-scoped access controls. An attacker can access another team's environment connection and authenticate outward using that team's credentials by supplying a crafted request with knowledge of the encoded identifier.

Note: This is only exploitable if the [core] multi_team option is enabled, [core] test_connection is set to Enabled, team-scoped secrets are provisioned as environment variables in the API-server process, and the attacker knows the encoded identifier.
