CVE-2025-37736

⚡ A readonly user gains unexpected superpowers! This CVE-2025-37736 in Elastic Cloud Enterprise allows them to access APIs meant for high-level admins, like a diner sneaking into the kitchen for a midnight snack. 🔥 Think of it as a restaurant where the non-staff can accidentally wander into the kitchen and start modifying recipes. This means that a user, who should only be handing out menus, could end up deleting entire orders or cooking up a storm—definitely not on the menu! An attacker who exploits this flaw could escalate their privileges and gain access to sensitive APIs that should be strictly off-limits. Imagine them deleting user accounts or modifying authentication keys—seriously damaging actions that could result in data breaches and a major security incident.
