Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from how cluster URLs were validated in addContentToRepo. The pre-patch code used organizationDirectoryService.getOrganization(uri.toURL()) to determine allowed servers, which checks the organization associated with the input URI rather than the current user's organization. This allowed attackers to reference resources from other organizations. The patch replaced this with securityService.getOrganization(), which properly validates against the current user's organizational context. The function's role in media ingestion and the direct modification in the security fix confirm its vulnerability.
