Privilege escalation via unauthorized user-record edits
Published Oct 26, 2023 · Updated Jan 16, 2025
Improper access control in Sielco transmitter user management allows remote authenticated users to alter accounts via a crafted HTTP POST request. The user-editing endpoint accepts modified account, password, and permission parameters from read-authorized sessions without enforcing write authorization. Read permission is sufficient to change user records, reset passwords, and grant permissions, enabling account takeover and privilege escalation.
