AI-suggested
Upgrade starlette to version 1.1.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since the vendor advisory does not provide additional remediation details, applying the official fix is the recommended action. Patch status is confirmed fixed in version 1.1.0.
Description
Starlette versions prior to 1.1.0 have a vulnerability in the HTTPEndpoint dispatch mechanism where unsafe reflection is used to select request handlers. This allows non-standard HTTP methods to invoke internal methods not intended as handlers if the subclass does not explicitly restrict HTTP methods, potentially bypassing authorization. The issue is fixed in version 1.1.0.
