Technical details

The vulnerability exists in types using publicApiProjection before version 4.34.0, where searchable and sortable fields excluded from the projection can be discovered through search membership and sort ordering oracles. While returned fields remain filtered by the projection, an attacker can use boolean search queries or sort key responses to infer targeted information about hidden values without gaining unrestricted field access.
