Interpretation Conflict, resulting in (Incorrect Authorization) vulnerability in Apache APISIX.
An unauthenticated client can reach upstream paths protected\nby a route-level auth plugin when a route without auth exists on the\nsame upstream and the upstream does not collapse encoded dot segments.
This issue affects Apache APISIX: from 0.9 through 3.19.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.20.0, which fixes the issue.
