01

Who is affected

mygardyn cloud_api – users who have authenticated access to the API.

02

Real-world impact

An attacker who can log in can read or change other users’ information, potentially leaking sensitive data or tampering with accounts.

03

Why this severity

The CVSS score of 9.3 reflects that the vulnerability has high confidentiality and integrity impact, requires only normal authentication, and can be exploited remotely without special privileges or user interaction.

04

What to do about it

no official fix yet
interim mitigations
  • Verify that the API checks the authenticated user’s ID against the requested profile ID before processing the request.
  • Restrict API access to trusted users and monitor for unusual ID‑change activity.
  • Apply the principle of least privilege to limit what authenticated users can do via the API.

No official fix or mitigation is documented in the sources yet. Monitor the vendor advisory and apply the patch as soon as it is released.
