Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the authorization process for management endpoints, where the manage privilege is not properly validated for users with the Manager role. An attacker can gain unauthorized control over collections, including modifying settings, escalating their own privileges, and deleting collections by sending crafted API requests to affected endpoints. This is only exploitable if the attacker is assigned the Manager role within the organization, has access to the target collection, and possesses a valid API access token.
