Unauthenticated privilege escalation exposing protected information

Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Mar 11, 2025

Improper privilege management in ZTE GoldenDB 6.1.03 through 6.1.03.05 allows remote attackers to gain elevated access. ZTE has not published the affected component or the operation that mishandles privilege checks, so the precise escalation path is undisclosed. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the published consequence is limited to reading protected information.
