CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

FV Flowplayer Video Player < 7.3.15.727 carries this weakness at csv_export, and reaching it takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For FV Flowplayer Video Player the fix is 7.3.15.727: builds < 7.3.15.727 are affected, anything from 7.3.15.727 onward is not.
