Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass. The deprecated configuration Authenticator.whitelist, which should be transparently mapped to Authenticator.allowed_users with a warning, is instead ignored, resulting in the same behaviour as if it has not been set.
