Exploitability: Exploitation is relatively easy as it requires only basic authentication, making it accessible to attackers with minimal credentials.
Blast radius: If exploited, this could lead to data breaches and unauthorized access across multiple company notes, impacting privacy and operational integrity.
Prioritized remediation: Implement company-ownership verification checks in NotePolicy similar to InvoicePolicy to prevent unauthorized note manipulation.

NVD description

Crater's NotePolicy checks only a blanket Bouncer ability (manage-all-notes / view-all-notes) with no company-ownership comparison, unlike InvoicePolicy and other sibling policies which additionally verify ->hasCompany(->company_id). Any authenticated user of one company can read, edit, or delete another company's notes by ID.
