Horizon Alert
Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters
An improper authorization vulnerability has been identified in the Sage AR Automation API, allowing authenticated users to access administrative resources of other tenants. This issue stems from insufficient tenant-level authorization checks within the system. The primary concern is to confirm if your organization utilizes this specific technology and assess any potential exposure.
- Users can access other tenants' data.
- Critical to confirm if your business uses this system.
- Understand potential exposure and relevance.
Attack Path
How an attacker could exploit the issue
Attackers with limited privileges can access sensitive administrative data from other accounts by exploiting an authorization flaw in the Cash Collect Sage AR Automation API. This occurs when an attacker guesses or discovers a tenant identifier to bypass intended access controls. If successful, an attacker could potentially read, modify, or delete critical business information across different tenants.
- Authenticated user access required.
- Guessing tenant ID bypasses authorization.
- Unauthorized access to other tenants' data.
Live Threat
Current exploitation, exposure, and threat context

- Tenant administrative resources could be accessed.
- Via API calls with a predictable tenant identifier.
- Unauthorized access to other tenant data.
Operational Fix
Recommended remediation, mitigation, and detection steps
This vulnerability in the Sage AR Automation API likely requires coordination between the application owners responsible for Cash Collect and the infrastructure or platform teams managing the API endpoints. The first practical step is to identify all instances of the affected API, confirm its exposure and criticality, and then assign ownership for remediation planning.
- Application and platform teams own remediation.
- Verify API reachability and business criticality.
- Plan tenant-level access control review.
