Description

Open WES through 1.0.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated users to modify other warehouses' stock records because GlobalGatewayFilter never enforces auth_warehouse scoping. Attackers holding the menu permission can enumerate sequential IDs on freezeContainerStock and unfreezeContainerStock endpoints to freeze or unfreeze container stock in other warehouses.
