vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The vulnerability (CVE-2022-32170) affects Bytebase versions 0.1.0 through 1.0.4. It is an improper authorization vulnerability where the application fails to restrict low privilege users from accessing admin projects. The vulnerability was disclosed on September 28, 2022 (NIST NVD).

Technical details
