Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in the handle_turn_refresh process. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to another user's TURN allocation and manipulate or consume their relayed traffic by presenting a stolen MOBILITY-TICKET during session resume. This is possible because the resumed session is authenticated against the attacker's credentials rather than the original allocation owner's, allowing cross-user allocation takeover.
