Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

OpenFGA versions below 1.18.1 can have the ListUsers API return a user who should have been excluded. This affects models where an intersection includes an exclusion whose base side is granted through a type-bound public wildcard, and the excluded user also holds a concrete grant through another operand of the intersection. The source does not say what an attacker must control to trigger it. Upgrade to OpenFGA 1.18.1 or later.
