Improper Permission Verification in Admin Panel Leads to Privilege Escalation

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves improper verification of access permissions when modifying permissions through the Administration Control Panel (ACP). It allows an authenticated administrator to grant permissions that exceed the level authorized for their account.

As a result, this leads to privilege escalation within the administrative interface, meaning an administrator can gain higher privileges than intended.
