CVE-2024-13254 is an Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data vulnerability (CWE-201) in the Drupal REST Views module, which allows forceful browsing. This issue affects REST Views versions from 0.0.0 before 3.0.1. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), reflecting high severity primarily due to its potential for high confidentiality impact over the network.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability with low attack complexity and no user interaction. By performing forceful browsing on REST Views endpoints, the attacker can access sensitive information that is improperly included in sent data.

The Drupal security advisory SA-CONTRIB-2024-018 addresses this issue and recommends updating to REST Views version 3.0.1 or later for mitigation.
