Privilege escalation via unvalidated account-name parameters
Published Nov 10, 2022 · Updated May 1, 2025
Improper authentication in Flowring Agentflow 4.0.0.1183.552 allows remote authenticated users to gain arbitrary account privileges. The access-control path insufficiently validates URL parameters in requests that change an account name, allowing a general user to obtain higher privileges. General user access is required; successful exploitation exposes or alters system data and can interrupt the service.
