Affected packages
• PyPI Red-DiscordBot: >= 3.5.0, < 3.5.10 → fixed in 3.5.10
Description
Impact
Due to a bug in Red's Core API, 3rd-party cogs using the `@commands.can_manage_channel()` command permission check without additional permission controls may authorize a user to run a command even when that user doesn't have permissions to manage a channel.
None of the core commands or core cogs are affected. The maintainers of the project are not aware of any _public_ 3rd-party cog utilizing this API at the time of writing this advisory.
The `@commands.mod_or_can_manage_channel()`, `@commands.admin_or_can_manage_channel()`, and `@commands.guildowner_or_can_manage_channel()` command permission checks are unaffected.

Patches
The problem was patched in PR #6398 and later released in version 3.5.10.
Workarounds
Any cog using the `@commands.can_manage_channel()` command permission check should be unloaded until an upgrade to a patched version can be performed.
