CVE-2024-52523
After setting up a user or administrator defined external storage with fixed credentials, the API returns them and adds them into the frontend again, allowing to read them in plain text when an attacker already has access to an active session of a user.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.64%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
