Authenticated access to revoked content
Published May 9, 2023 · Updated Apr 10, 2025
Improper privilege management in Esri Portal for ArcGIS 10.9.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to access revoked content. Esri has not disclosed the specific permission-change workflow or authorization-state operation that leaves obsolete access effective. Exploitation requires an existing portal account whose content permission has been reduced or removed; the bounded consequence is continued access to that content.
