This gives attackers read and write access to notes of other users. This exploit works in both SysReptor Professional and Community. In Community it has, however, no impact because all users have superuser permissions and can list personal notes of other users at /admin/pentests/usernotebookpage/. This issue has been patched in version 2026.27.
