AI-suggested
Upgrade Temporal Server to versions 1.30.7 or later, or 1.31.3 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by binding pagination tokens to the requested workflow execution and namespace. These fixed versions emit logs and metrics to detect attempts to use invalid pagination tokens.
Description
Temporal Server versions up to 1.29.7, and certain 1.30.x and 1.31.x releases, contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in workflow-history pagination. The server does not bind pagination tokens to the namespace and workflow named in the request, allowing an authenticated caller with read permission on one namespace to access workflow history from another namespace if the history shard matches. This flaw is due to unauthenticated pagination tokens lacking namespace or workflow identity binding. Fixed versions add validation checks and logging to detect and prevent this bypass.
