Description
An unauthorized user can access the ‘/services/indexing/preview’ REST endpoint to overwrite search results if they know the search ID (SID) of an existing search job. This is because the endpoint does not honor role-based access controls (RBAC) with respect to SID ownership. The exploit requires that the user hold a role that has the ‘edit_monitor’ and ‘edit_upload_and_index’ capabilities assigned to it.
