What it is

🚨 An authenticated user can bypass permissions and access any PAM entries they shouldn't—like a hotel guest sneaking into the penthouse suite! 🔥 Imagine checking into a hotel where the front desk mistakenly gives you a key that opens every room—now, imagine that key lets you access critical server resources instead. That's the kind of mix-up we're dealing with here! This vulnerability could allow malicious insiders to gain access to sensitive information and configurations meant for others, potentially leading to a catastrophic data breach or unauthorized changes in the system. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this is a severe threat that must be addressed immediately!
