Technical details
A permissions issue in the Applications Manager plugin's profile endpoint allowed authenticated low-privileged users to request another user's profile and retrieve their API key without proper authorization checks. An attacker with a low-privileged account could exploit this to obtain an administrator's API key and use it to perform administrative operations, potentially compromising the entire monitoring infrastructure. The fix enforces token-based authentication on the affected endpoint.
