Title
RansomLook - Improper Filtering of Private Location Entries in API Endpoints Leads to Information Exposure
Summary
The API in the affected application improperly filters private location entries in `website/web/api/genericapi.py`.  Because the code removes elements from a list while iterating over it, entries marked as private may be unintentionally retained in API responses, allowing unauthorized disclosure of non-public location information.
Severity
