1) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-862 - Missing Authorization

CVSSv4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization in the admin dashboard API endpoints /admin/api/dashboard/searches and /admin/api/dashboard/content-health when handling authenticated requests. A remote user can send requests to these endpoints to disclose sensitive information.

On installations with open registration enabled, self-registered users can access site-wide search-term statistics and content-health counters without administrative permissions.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
