AI-suggested

Upgrade CallBackery to version 0.62.0 or later, where this issue is fixed. The vendor has released an official fix that properly restricts access to sensitive fields in getUserConfig and related functions.

Description

CallBackery versions prior to 0.62.0 for Perl improperly expose sensitive information through the getUserConfig function. Non-administrative users can access their own password hash and administrator-only notes, which should be restricted. This flaw allows attackers with a session token to retrieve password hashes and potentially crack them offline.
