CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability allows unauthorized users to access sensitive table and column metadata through the GET /forms endpoint in Grist, potentially exposing data structures that should be restricted by access controls. This could lead to information disclosure, particularly for documents that are publicly viewable. Organizations using Grist versions prior to 1.7.15 should prioritize upgrading to mitigate the risk of exposing sensitive information.

Original NVD Description
Grist is spreadsheet software using Python as its formula language. Prior to 1.7.15, the GET /forms endpoint read table and column metadata without applying the document's access rules and did not check that the requested section was actually a form. A user with only partial read access, including public access on a publicly viewable document, could request the metadata of any widget and reveal table and column structure that access rules would otherwise hide, even in documents that contain no forms. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.15.
