CVE-2026-111169 suitenumerique CVE debrief

La Suite Docs through 6.0.1 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated users to write comments into threads of documents they cannot access. This vulnerability enables attackers with knowledge of a thread UUID to route a POST comment request through their own document's resource_id, effectively inserting comments into another document's thread without proper access authorization. The vulnerability impacts document access control, potentially allowing unauthorized data access and manipulation of document threads.
