"details" : "## Summary\n\nBackpack CRUD's list and read operations correctly apply any query scopes\nregistered via `addClause()` / `addBaseClause()` (e.g. tenant isolation, user\nownership). However, the **Update**, **Delete**, and **Reorder** operations\nbypassed these scopes, fetching records directly from the unscoped model query.\n\nAn authenticated user who knows or can guess a record's primary key could\ntherefore update, delete, or reorder records that should be invisible to them —\na classic IDOR on write paths.\n\nApplications that rely on `addBaseClause` for row-level access control\n(multi-tenancy, per-user data isolation) are affected.\n\n## Impact\n\nAny Backpack CRUD panel that uses `addBaseClause` or `addClause` to restrict\nwhich rows a user may access is affected on its write operations.\nAn authenticated low-privilege user can modify or delete records belonging to\nother tenants / users.\n\n## Patches\n\nApply the fixed release for your major version:\n\n- **v6**: upgrade to **6.8.14** or later\n- **v7**: upgrade to **7.0.38** or later\n\nThe fix ensures Update, Delete, and Reorder all resolve records through the same\nscoped query used by the read side.\n\n## Workarounds\n\nIf you cannot upgrade immediately, add explicit `Gate` / `Policy` checks in your\n`CrudController`'s `update()`, `destroy()`, and `reorder()` methods to verify\nthe authenticated user is permitted to act on the resolved record.\n\n## Credits\n\nReported by Vishal Shukla ([@shukla304](https://github.com/shukla304)).",
