GHSA-6x2m-hqfw-hvpj
No affected components available
Summary
exec.approval requests for host=node were not explicitly bound to the target nodeId, so an approval intended for one node could be replayed for a different node under the same operator-controlled gateway fleet.
Impact
An operator approval for a system.run request could be reused across nodes if the request payload did not carry node identity through approval and execution checks.
