Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to invoke a different client-referenced server function as a side effect of request deserialization.
The vulnerability exists due to type confusion in the inbound server-function request deserialization logic when processing a crafted JSON request body. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request body to invoke a sibling client-referenced server function as a side effect of deserialization.
The inner invocation does not re-run request-level middleware, while the target function's per-function middleware chain still executes. Server-only functions cannot be reached through this mechanism.
