Poking around to see what kind of data is exposed by a bug is reasonable.

I’d stop there, and I’d suggest people do that, because it makes for a better society for all of us, regardless of the law. What’s that called? Civil disobedience?

Why bother stopping there? You'll already have committed a felony. Go as far as you want from there! It's civil disobedience, after all!
