Updated

A missing authorization vulnerability in Windmill Labs Windmill through 1.783.0 allows any authenticated workspace member to overwrite any resource type schema via the updateresourcetype endpoint.

An attacker with workspace member privileges can corrupt resource type definitions, breaking workflows that depend on them.
