Bug Description

As a user of a project, I can see resource types associated to private namespaces I don't have access to:

Since this report concerns a possible security risk, an incomplete
security advisory task has been added while the core security
reviewers for the affected project or projects confirm the bug and
discuss the scope of any vulnerability along with potential
solutions.

Thanks! If we go with that plan, I recommend a single security advisory which covers all related vulnerabilities (it may wind up with multiple CVE assignments for each problem addressed, but that's not too unusual).

Indeed, I think a single advisory for "this whole corner of the API has fundamental issues and should be disabled or handled with care" makes perfect sense.
