Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability in a known login mechanism allows unauthenticated attackers to execute API calls without requiring user credentials. RBAC helps limit the exposure but does not eliminate risk.
