TL;DR

Dynamic route handling can accept externally supplied parameter encodings that alter route values seen by page logic. Middleware checks may evaluate a different effective route than the rendered target. This mismatch can bypass expected authorization enforcement on protected paths. The fix limits parameter normalization to trusted internal routing flows.

Who does this affect?

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