Auth Bypass: The majority of fixes address missing or incorrect RBAC permission checks that allow restricted users to perform unauthorized actions. Many fixes correct wrong permission symbols or add missing checks for sub-entity operations.
Auth Bypass: Multiple fixes add missing permission checks to disable account-level actions for users without the required IAM permissions, including billing and email editing.
