Description

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
This vulnerability allows any person with access to a particular appellant's appeal key to view the appeal regardless of if it is oversighted (i.e. marked invalid). This impacts appellants, who can view information they should not be able to, as well as administrators, whose responses should not be visible to anyone once an appeal is oversighted. This issue only exposes oversighted information to the end-user entering the appeal key when that user is not authenticated in the system using OAUTH (as is the case with appellants).

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
