Impact

Defining a REST API Resource with a data modification verb (POST/DELETE/PATCH) without authorization restrictions via ACLs is a security risk, as it allows any user with login credentials to modify data in your instance.

Ensure that all REST API Resources which can modify data have authentication and authorization checks enabled.
