Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain agent access intended for another Discord identity.
The vulnerability exists due to authentication bypass by spoofing in the Discord allowFrom feature when matching policy entries against mutable display or global name metadata. A remote user can change Discord display metadata to gain agent access intended for another Discord identity.
Exploitation requires the affected feature to be enabled and reachable, and practical impact depends on the operator's configuration and whether lower-trust input can reach that path.
