By posting a message that reveals information about the system that can be used to access the system

Vulnerability discovery and implications

A vulnerability of this type is usually found during the development phase. This can be because the developers may not have corrected a security flaw that was discovered in one of their previous projects. The vulnerability may also be found when users are testing the system, because they can access information that should not be accessible to them. The most common instance where this vulnerability is exploited is when someone with a specific username and password combination takes advantage of it by posting a message in the system that reveals information about the user.
Vulnerabilities like these can lead to a variety of outcomes, such as:
Unauthorized access to data through information disclosure or modification
Unauthorized access to system resources
Denial of service (DoS) attacks
Data leakage
