Description
I don't want to file an erratum but just mention it here. Maybe you want to incorporate this idea into the security considerations.
Often backends have the full data set but restrict writing certain items, so that replace
ing a value would not be possible.
But test
ing for a value would be possible.
Imagine the data structure has some plaintext secrets like {"password: "foobar", …}
,
then a {"op": "test", "path": "/password", "value": "foobar"}
would successfully reveal a matching password, if no restrictions exists for allowed-to-read keys.
