While a 403 error itself isn't necessarily a vulnerability, it *can* sometimes reveal information about the website's structure. For example, if a user can access a 403 error page for a directory they shouldn't know exists, it could aid in reconnaissance. Proper error handling should avoid revealing sensitive information.
