Description from the CNA
An incorrect authorization issue exposes basic account information to unauthorized remote users in KNIME Business Hub SaaS before version 1.19.0. A workaround is not possible. The same behaviour is present in on-premise KNIME Business Hub installations but it was designed as such in order to foster collaboration in isolated local environments. No information that is not already know within the company is exposed. If required, basic account information can also be turned off via configuration in on-premise installations.
