Data leak? In the security field, they categorize it as "information disclosure"... But it doesn't have the same level of gravitas to it
We have investigated this unintended information disclosure and have concluded it's the fault of the users for having information.
Carries the same weight as "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly". It's the fault of those little green men in kerbal space program.
It does if you consider it from the point of view of a. Someone went out of their way to design this API so as to allow this or b. A team of individuals deployed it without realizing how it would be exploited
You can generally learn things from a breach, but finding and remediating systemic issues like those mentioned above is a big ask
Edit: I either responded to the wrong comment or misunderstood what you said. It's late in the day...
I think you replied to the right post (mine) but I didn't downvote you.
Information disclosure doesn't necessarily imply it's intentional or unintentional, just that information was disclosed. But in a sense I do agree somewhat with that you said, only that WHO the person who developed the API receives that message from makes a huge difference. The IT security team coming to you and says "information disclosure" is scarier than a team mate
Oh I wish that were true but unless GRC or Legal get involved nothing much comes of it lol
