Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stemmed from: 1) Controller classes inheriting from ACLMixin instead of SecretACLMixin, missing project_id/creator_id checks 2) Overly permissive policy rules in secretmeta.py that didn't validate secret ownership. The patch added SecretACLMixin with project validation and tightened policy rules to require secret_project_creator/admin checks. The vulnerable functions handled metadata operations while using the legacy authorization mixin and permissive policies.
