Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization in the attachment download endpoint when handling requests for attachment UUIDs. A remote attacker can send a request for a known attachment UUID to disclose sensitive information.
Unauthenticated exploitation requires REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW to be set to false. If sign-in is required, a logged-in user without access to the target repository may still retrieve the attachment.
