CVE-2022-50927

Cyclades Serial Console Server 3.3.0 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability due to overly permissive sudo privileges for the admin user and admin group. Attackers can exploit the default user configuration to gain root access by manipulating system binaries and leveraging unrestricted sudo permissions.

Weakness

A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
