How to fix?

Upgrade conan to version 2.9.0 or higher.

Overview

conan is a Conan C/C++ package manager

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Authorization in the server's authorization mechanism, by the check_read_conan, check_write_conan, and check_delete_conan methods in the authorize() function, as well as via authentication checks in file_downloader() and file_uploader() functions. This allows users to bypass permission checks if the package owner's username matches their own.

Note: This is exploitable only by an authenticated user who owns a package.
