Craft is a content management system. This is a potential moderate impact, low complexity privilege escalation vulnerability in Craft starting in 3.x prior to 3.9.6 and 4.x prior to 4.4.16 with certain user permissions setups. This has been fixed in Craft 4.4.16 and Craft 3.9.6. Users should ensure they are running at least those versions.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
