Consul and Consul Enterprise allowed any user with service:write permissions to use Envoy extensions configured via service-defaults to patch remote proxy instances that target the configured service, regardless of whether the user has permission to modify the service(s) corresponding to those modified proxies.

Weakness

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