BEAR exposes other owners' protected product data
BEAR before 1.2.2 accepts caller-supplied product identifiers in several data-returning handlers without checking ownership. A user restricted to their own products can read other owners' product information, including protected downloadable file URLs and private metadata. The authoritative export does not identify the handlers, identifier parameters, or full returned schema.

1.2.2- Published
- Sep 12, 2026
This CVE was published Sep 12, 2026 and is one of 3 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update BEAR to 1.2.2 or later and rotate downloadable-file URLs if they were exposed. The application-level fix must authorize the caller against each requested product and filter private fields rather than trusting a supplied identifier.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
Technical description
