Technical details

The createDeploymentBackgroundWorkerV4 endpoint resolves a WorkerDeployment using only the friendlyId parameter, without checking environment, project, or organization scope. An attacker with a valid API key for their own environment can POST a victim's deployment ID to this endpoint, causing the victim's BUILDING deployment to transition to DEPLOYING with a workerId pointing to the attacker's background worker, leaking version information and compromising deployment integrity.
