A vulnerability has been identified in Mendix Applications using Mendix 7 (All versions < V7.23.26), Mendix Applications using Mendix 8 (All versions < V8.18.12), Mendix Applications using Mendix 9 (All versions < V9.6.1). Applications built with affected versions of Mendix Studio Pro do not prevent file documents from being cached when files are opened or downloaded using a browser. This could allow a local attacker to read those documents by exploring the browser cache.
