This is actually a pretty common type of report to public bug bounty programs. ("Anyone can see your private data if they can guess the GUID in the URL".)

Barring something extraordinary, it would be acknowledged as intentional behavior and classified wontfix. For most purposes, no, this is not an actual risk.

Sorry, bad bug bounty memories. ;)

What if, like, you had a quantum computer that could guess every password simultaneously? Checkmate, nerd. Give me my bounty.
