Technical details
The review-workflows package fails to verify update permissions before allowing document modifications, a classic broken access control vulnerability (CWE-639). The flaw permits attackers who can reach the Strapi application to bypass authorization checks on workflow-related updates, gaining unauthorized write access to protected data without authentication or user interaction required beyond network connectivity.
