Magento Rest API exposing PII

[shrinisadagopan]

Preconditions and environment

Magento version - 2.4.6-P8
Environment - Local, Staging and Production

Steps to reproduce

My client is using Akamai Nonames to scan the application for PII in the incoming Rest API calls and if there (like cusotmer email address) Akamai is flagging it as security vulnerability and reporting it as a bug for the developers to fix it.

For example, the following Rest API is called by headless to Adobe Commerce where they are fetching the all the orders for the customers based on their email address to display it in the order history page...since the customer email address is exists in the query parameter Nonames system is flagging it as security vulnerability and report it as high risk.

/rest/V1/orders?searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][conditionType]=eq&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][field]=customer_email&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][value][=customer_email52@yahoo.com]

Expected result

Akamai Nonames scan should not find any PII information in the Rest API calls

Actual result

Akamai Nonames scan is finding the PII information in the Rest API calls and flagging it as security vulnerability.
