CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Reaching this weakness in Slider by Soliloquy <= 2.8.1 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 Slider by Soliloquy the fix is 2.8.2: builds <= 2.8.1 are affected, anything from 2.8.2 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.8.2, or a newer patched version
