Authenticated privilege escalation
Published Aug 12, 2024 · Updated Aug 13, 2024
Privilege escalation in DefectDojo before 1.5.3.1 allows remote authenticated users to obtain elevated application permissions. The public record identifies the user permissions component but does not disclose the affected function or improper authorization operation. A valid low-privilege account is required; the published assessment bounds the potential impact to the application and its managed data.
