How to fix

Fixed in: 6.3.7

Technical details

Missing authorization in REST and COM administration API handlers allows authenticated users with confined domain credentials to access configuration beyond their authorized scope. A domain administrator, account, or API key scoped to named domains can create unauthorized domain aliases, rename domains, modify rule actions (bind-address, send-using-route, script-function), and set relay hosts without proper privilege checks. The vulnerability exists because authorization gates did not validate scope against confined credentials, and handlers were not provided caller context for permission enforcement.
