⚠️ A low-privilege user can slip through the cracks! This Insufficient Granularity of Access Control flaw in OpenText Flipper lets users elevate their privileges, potentially causing unwanted chaos. 😱 Think of it like a concert where the bouncer is supposed to check ID but just gives a thumbs-up to anyone who says they're a VIP. Suddenly, a regular fan is backstage, mingling with the stars! 🎤 While the severity is low, the implications could still be troublesome. A low-privilege user could elevate their access and potentially mess with sensitive data or features, causing headaches for admins and users alike. We don't want a regular fan remixing the setlist, do we?
