CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

CVSSv4: 8.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain full administrator access.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in the User PATCH handler and token-creation endpoint when processing root-level JSON Patch operations and impersonated token-creation requests.
