Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation via the "polymorphic field" implementation, due to the lack of validation of user input when updating or creating a new polymorphic resource. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the class names in the database entries.

Note: This is only exploitable if the necessary conditions, such as the ability to update or create polymorphic resources, are met.
