First so called vulnerability, isn't how a lot platforms are actually built? Share a link/copy a link, and more often than not, I am sure to have read a warning like "anyone with that link may access that file".

Now should I mention all the screw up I have seen in several Saas 1b+ valuation, including DocuSign/ and more security oriented ones (PIM related etc?).

For any softwares, you need a minimum critical mindset and experiences that you don't usually see.

Well it depends on the url. Usually shareable url where "anyone with the link may access that file" contain a random element that makes it hard to guess if you don't have it (e.g. an UUID).

In other cases the content is at easily guessable path, and that is a whole different story
