Authenticated privilege escalation via undisclosed authorization flaw
Published May 7, 2025 · Updated May 7, 2025
Incorrect authorization in OpenText Operations Bridge Manager 2023.05, 23.4, 24.2, and 24.4 allows authenticated users to escalate privileges. OpenText has not published the affected authorization check, request handler, or privileged operation that accepts the insufficiently authorized action. A low-privileged account can reach the flaw over the network without user interaction, and successful exploitation grants elevated access.
