Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the asynchronous connection test endpoint (enqueue_connection_test) when commit_on_success is set. The permission check occurs at enqueue time, granting only POST (create) authorization when the connection ID does not yet exist, but the commit_to_connection_table call at completion writes the tested connection unconditionally, including overwriting a connection created by another request in the interim. A user with create-but-not-edit permission on connections can therefore overwrite a connection they are not authorized to modify.

Note: This is only exploitable if the non-default [core] test_connection setting is explicitly enabled.
