## Technical details

An access control flaw in the /v1/document/get/<doc_id> endpoint (document_app.py:726) allows unauthenticated or cross-tenant users to retrieve arbitrary documents without proper authorization checks. The endpoint accepts a caller-selected resource identifier but fails to bind the resource access back to the caller's identity or tenant context. Exploitation requires only network access and knowledge of a target document ID.
