Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an authorization bypass issue. A remote authenticated attacker on the local network can gain read-only access to higher-privileged information if 1) “LDAP Authentication Only with Local Authorization” mode is configured and used by XCC, and 2) a lesser privileged user logs into XCC within 1 minute of a higher privileged user logging out.
