Technical details and impact analysis
### Summary
It is possible to view the starred Projects in a private profile. Consider my profile for instance, https://gitlab.com/maruthi-adithya . This is a private profile and none of my account-related information should be leaked. However, https://gitlab.com/users/maruthi-adithya/starred.json exposes Starred Projects.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Login to Gitlab. Go to Settings.
2. Check "Don't display activity-related personal information on your profiles".
3. Save the Profile.
4. Now, open your profile from a private window. It will say this is a private profile. However, the above mentioned API exposes the starred projects information.
## Impact
According to the docs, https://gitlab.com/help/user/profile/index.md#private-profile, starred projects should be hidden. However, due to this API, it is getting exposed. Using this, an attacker could steal sensitive data from a private profile.
