CVE-2025-27703 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the management console of Absolute Secure Access prior to version 13.54. Attackers with administrative access to a specific subset of privileged features in the console can elevate their permissions to access additional features in the console. The attack complexity is low, there are no preexisting attack requirements; the privileges required are high, and there is no user interaction required. The impact to system confidentiality is low, the impact to system integrity is high and the impact to system availability is low.
The product does not preserve permissions or incorrectly preserves permissions when copying, restoring, or sharing objects, which can cause them to have less restrictive permissions than intended.
