Technical details

The vulnerability is an improper access control flaw in api/apps/connector_app.py:resume (line 241) where the endpoint accepts a caller-selected resource identifier without validating that the caller has authority over that resource. An attacker with access to the application can bypass authorization checks to read or modify data owned by other users or sessions. The vulnerability allows unauthorized cross-session or privilege-crossing operations.
