Impact
An unknown number of users experienced issues when accessing the Vulnerabilities section, where the information failed to load as expected. The issue started on UTC-5 26-01-23 13:47 and was proactively discovered 57.6 minutes (TTD) later by an automated code analysis process and later corroborated by reports from staff members and clients. The problem was resolved in 43.2 minutes (TTF), resulting in a total window of exposure of 1.6 hours (WOE) [1].
Cause
A typing mistake caused a variable to be assigned an unexpected data structure. This mismatch led to a failure when the system attempted to retrieve information from the search service, resulting in errors that blocked the display of findings [2].
Solution
The code was corrected to ensure the variable is assigned using the expected format. This allowed the system to properly construct the request and successfully retrieve the required data [3].
Conclusion
The incident underscored the importance of stronger safeguards around data handling in search queries. As a result, improvements will be made to enforce stricter typing and reduce the likelihood of similar issues affecting users in the future. INCOMPLETE_PERSPECTIVE < MISSING_TEST
