Authentication removed

Updated: June 19, 2025

Description

An endpoint that previously required authentication has been changed to no longer require authentication.

Remediation

Verify that the change was intentional and correct, or add back the authentication requirement to the endpoint.

Security Frameworks

Authentication mechanisms are often implemented incorrectly, allowing attackers to compromise authentication tokens or to exploit implementation flaws to assume other user's identities temporarily or permanently. Compromising a system's ability to identify the client/user, compromises API security overall.

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
