This vulnerability allows an authenticated Zabbix user with the User role and template/host write permissions to create objects using the configuration.import API.
Normally, the User role does not have sufficient permissions to create or edit templates or hosts, even if they have write permissions.
However, due to this issue, such users can bypass these restrictions and create unauthorized hosts.
