Description
The S3 storage manager’s isAuthorized() function is declared async (returns Promise<boolean>) but is called without await in both the POST and PUT handlers. Since a Promise object is always truthy in JavaScript, !isAuthorized(type) always evaluates to false, completely bypassing the authorization check.
Recommendation
Update the @studiocms/s3-storage package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:
- Affected version(s): <= 0.3.0
- Patched version(s): 0.3.1
