Who can exploit this vulnerability?

Any authenticated user with read-only or similar low-privilege access who can view ingestion pipeline details or intercept the related API traffic can potentially extract the exposed JWTs.

Does exploitation require administrative access?

No. The core issue is that high-privilege ingestion-bot tokens are exposed to low-privilege users, enabling them to escalate privileges without needing admin-level accounts.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest pattern is to ensure that privileged credentials are never included in user-visible API responses, coupled with role-aware redaction and a design where ingestion operations run server-side using internal credentials isolated from end-user roles.
