Recommended fix for security issue #203 :
NB: This requires no coding fix, just do disable / deprecate API Endpoint and Comment out affected code portion.
Since the "MarketPlace Model" functionality does not require any API calls to another user's profile (no need for an API call to CEO's profile)
1- Commenting out that API call to /api/user/(the 6 IDs called) in the code base is what is required to fix this vulnerability.
2- Also, disabling the API endpoint "/api/user/ID" is required from the API Collection since /api/users/ID performs the same task.
In a nutshell, remove (disable/depreciate) the /api/user/ID from the API collection and comment out that portion in the "MarketModel" code base (to avoid default calls to those 6 api endpoints)
