From: Jan Beulich Subject: platform-op/XSM: move resource-{,un}plug-core checks Integrate the checking with flask_platform_op(); there never really was a need to defer these checks, as the sub-op has always been known to the function. As a positive side effect, permissions are then checked at the same early point with and without Flask. This is CVE-2026-62427 / part of XSA-499.
