In ManageEngine Applications Manager 12 and 13 before build 13200, an authenticated user is able to alter all of their own properties, including own group, i.e. changing their group to one with higher privileges like ADMIN. A user is also able to change properties of another user, e.g. change another users password.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
