TL;DR

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to authentication bypass through double-URL encoded paths. An attacker could use multi-level URL encoding (e.g. /%2561dmin) to access routes that should be behind authentication. The patch fixes this by decoding pathnames and rejecting requests that contain leftover percent-encoded sequences after decoding.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
