HIGHSeverity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
Network-reachable directory needing only a low-privilege account (PR:L) and no interaction; scope change as one user reaches others' PII; confidentiality-only impact, so I:N/A:N.

The Restaurant Brands International (RBI) assistant platform through 2025-09-06 has a Global Store Directory that shares personal information among authenticated users.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in the Restaurant Brands International (RBI) assistant platform (the corporate platform behind Burger King, Popeyes, and Tim Hortons ordering/drive-thru tooling) lets any authenticated, low-privilege user harvest personal information belonging to other users through the Global Store Directory, which is designed to share such records across accounts. The CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N) confirms the attack is network-reachable with low complexity but requires a valid account, so the realistic threat population is insiders, franchisees/partners, or anyone who can register or obtain credentials rather than anonymous internet users; impact is confined to confidentiality with scope change and no integrity or availability effect. Publicly available exploit code exists and the issue was covered by Malwarebytes and mainstream news outlets, but there is no evidence in the provided data of confirmed active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing).
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the Global Store Directory within the RBI assistant platform, an internal-facing application layer that aggregates store and personnel records and exposes them to authenticated sessions across brand tenants (Burger King, Popeyes, Tim Hortons). The root cause class is CWE-359, Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor: the directory was implemented as a broadly shared lookup that returns personal data of other users to any authenticated caller, rather than enforcing object- or field-level authorization against the requesting user's role, brand, or store scope. The CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N reflects this precisely - no user interaction or race condition is needed, the attack is fully network-based, only low privileges are required, and the scope metric is changed (S:C) because a flaw in one authorization context (the directory service) yields data about users and entities outside that context. Because there is no integrity or availability component, the practical risk is bulk PII aggregation and downstream fraud, phishing, or credential-stuffing against the exposed population rather than service disruption or data tampering.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified in the available data at time of analysis, and no RBI security advisory appears among the supplied references, so remediation should begin with disclosure to RBI and a request for an official fixed build rather than assuming an upgrade path exists. In the interim, the highest-value compensating control is to gate the Global Store Directory behind an explicit role and brand-scope authorization check on the server side so a session can only resolve records it legitimately owns; the trade-off is that franchisees and multi-brand operators who currently rely on cross-store lookups will lose that convenience and may need a request/approval workflow instead. Where the directory cannot be changed immediately, apply field-level redaction of direct identifiers (names, phone numbers, addresses, emails) in the API response and log or alert on high-volume enumeration patterns from a single account, accepting that this degrades legitimate reporting and may break downstream integrations that expect full records. Additional short-term measures with low side effects include disabling or allow-listing the directory endpoint to known corporate IP ranges, enforcing MFA and prompt re-verification for accounts with directory access, and auditing existing accounts for stale franchisee or partner credentials - each of which reduces the population able to reach the feature but does not fix the underlying authorization flaw. Monitor the researcher write-up and Malwarebytes coverage for an updated vendor statement and apply the official fix as soon as RBI publishes one.
