This weakness, identified as CWE-862, enables a user to view or modify sensitive board data and configuration beyond their intended permissions, potentially leading to data exposure or unauthorized content changes.

Affected Systems

All installations of the Mahmudul Hasan Arif FluentBoards plugin from the unspecified earliest release up to and including version 1.91.1 are affected. Users deploying these versions should verify the exact build and coordinate an update.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 5.4, indicating moderate severity, and an EPSS score of less than 1 %, suggesting a low probability of exploitation in the wild.
