Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform unauthorized administrative actions.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization in admin-scoped tools when handling identity-bearing HTTP requests through the affected feature and configuration. A remote user can send a crafted request through a lower-trust caller or configured input path to perform unauthorized administrative actions.
Only instances where the affected feature is enabled and reachable are vulnerable, and practical impact depends on whether lower-trust input can reach the affected path.
