Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass authorization checks and perform unauthorized actions.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in message mutations when handling lower-trust caller input through the affected feature and configuration. A remote user can invoke a reachable mutation path to bypass authorization checks and perform unauthorized actions.
Only instances where the affected feature is enabled and reachable are vulnerable, and practical impact depends on whether lower-trust input can reach that path.
