## Overview

reNgine through 2.2.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the GetFileContents API endpoint that allows any authenticated user to read bundled recon tool configuration files. Attackers with low-privilege Auditor roles can access files containing third-party API keys for services like SecurityTrails, Shodan, Censys, VirusTotal, BinaryEdge and Hunter by querying the endpoint without role-based permission checks.

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
