The use of
String.to_atom/1in PowAssent is susceptible to denial of service attacks. InPowAssent.Phoenix.AuthorizationControllera value is fetched from the user provided params, andString.to_atom/1is used to convert the binary value to an atom so it can be used to fetch the provider configuration value.
