Summary

Hide ▲

A 700Credit integration API flaw let an attacker copy consumer records, creating unauthorized-access risk for dealership-client data. The weakness was a failure to validate consumer reference IDs against the original requester, and the exposed API was later terminated. Because the flaw enabled data exfiltration, the risk centered on sensitive personal information rather than a generic outage.
