Description

When a CNA transfer their ownership of a CVE ID to another CNA, that CNA can see who the original assigner of the CVE ID was. For any other CVE IDs owned by other CNA, that field is not visible to any other CNA.

Steps to Reproduce

Transfer a CVE from one CNA to another using PUT "https://cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve-id/CVE-NNNN-ZZZZZ/?org=<NEW_CNA>.

Expected behavior:

The CVE, now owned by NEW_CNA, can be viewed by the CNA and the identity of the original assigner is visible.

Actual behavior:

We don't really define whether user identities are secret, but if they should not be disclosed outside of a CNA's scope, then the assignee username of a transferred CVE ID should be redacted.
