Technical details

Missing object-level authorization on the `/notification/export/{id}` endpoint in the Notification controller allows an authenticated, unprivileged user to export attachments from any notification by iterating notification IDs. The vulnerable code called `getById()` instead of a permission-checked method like `getByNotificationId()` through the `userNotificationFactory`, enabling horizontal privilege escalation. The fix restricts attachment export to only those notifications the user has explicit access to.
