Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass authorization checks.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in extensions/googlechat/src/monitor.ts when evaluating Google Chat allowlist entries by sender email instead of immutable sender resource name. A remote user can use a reassigned or mutable email principal with a sender-ID mismatch to bypass authorization checks.
Exploitation generally requires Google Workspace or identity-provider administrative control over identity lifecycle, such as reassigning an email address to a different underlying account.
