Elevation of privilege

⚠️ A sneaky elevation of privilege could let a user escalate their rights without proper authorization. Imagine your friendly neighborhood waiter suddenly being able to access the kitchen because they found a forgotten door! 🍽️ It's like a restaurant employee discovering a side door that lets them into areas they shouldn't be — they could access the kitchen, manage orders, or even change menu prices! This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to higher privileges, potentially leading to chaos within the system. If exploited, an attacker could operate with elevated privileges, allowing them to modify sensitive data or settings, which could be absolutely devastating for system integrity. Users might unknowingly gain access to confidential areas or functionalities, putting the entire system at risk.
