System-administrator escalation via undisclosed role validation
Published May 31, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Privilege escalation in Deltablot eLabFTW before 4.3.0 allows remote authenticated users with team-admin access to become system administrators. The vendor advisory does not identify the affected endpoint or explain which role-validation operation accepts the unauthorized change. Existing team-administrator access is required; exploitation grants control of all accounts, teams, and system-wide settings.
