- 7.2 High severity
Secure Data Forms: Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality
A function in the Kiteworks Advanced Forms component was reachable without authentication. An unauthenticated attacker could potentially use it to carry out a limited set of internal service operations on the Kiteworks platform; it did not permit access to use
- 9.4 Critical severity
Email Protection Gateway: Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality
