What to do
Solution: Upgrade to v23.4.1 or later.
Workaround: Nozomi Networks recommends creating specific users for OpenAPI usage, with only the necessary permissions to access the required data sources. Additionally, it is advised to limit API keys to allowed IP addresses whenever possible. Finally, it is also suggested to regenerate existing API keys periodically and to review sign-ins via API keys in the audit records.
