Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from missing access control checks in distinct query handling. Both getItems()
(collection requests) and getItem()
(single resource requests) functions in operations.js
processed distinct parameters without validating against the 'private' field configuration. The proof of concept shows attackers could bypass privacy restrictions using ?distinct=password, and the fix (23ccb24) specifically adds isDistinctExcluded
checks in these two functions, confirming they were the vulnerable entry points.
