I want some details here. Just the other day we had a blog post lauding fairly open API approaches for client UIs (in GraphQL, but I see similar arguments elsewhere). Lock your shit down, don't give the frontend more than it needs, and if you're in a company with some type of ridiculous team separation where the backend has to treat the frontend as a customer that doesn't work for the company it's just a matter of time.
Not saying this was a frontend API, just saying it's a frequent vector due to the lax auth requirements and "internal" query-like approach they often take.
