The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Reaching this weakness in Otter Blocks PRO <= 2.6.11 takes an account at Subscriber level or above. 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 Otter Blocks PRO the fix is 2.6.12: builds <= 2.6.11 are affected, anything from 2.6.12 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.6.12, or a newer patched version
