The root cause of this bug was the replacement of the wildcard expression in the request's
indicesmember with the actual data streams that expression matched. In the case that the authz code had already replaced it with the*,-*token that means "no authorized data streams", the expression would be evaluated again, would match no data streams, and would set theindicesmember to an empty array. An empty array is equivalent to*, so all data streams would then be deleted.Fixes #78422
