Improper Access Control in Devolutions Server Vault Documentation

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves an authenticated attacker sending a crafted API request to read documentation content from unauthorized vaults. Detection would involve monitoring for unusual or unauthorized API requests targeting the vault documentation feature.
