AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, avoid configuring searchable_fields as an empty list or restrict access to trusted authenticated users only.

Description

starlette-admin versions 0.16.1 through 0.17.1 fail to enforce the searchable_fields allowlist when configured as an empty list, allowing authenticated users to filter on non-searchable fields. Attackers can submit structured filter queries via the list API's where parameter to perform equality and comparison operations on excluded columns.
