A flaw was found in the temporary user record that authd uses in the pre-auth NSS. As a result, a user login for the first time will be considered to be part of the root group in the context of that SSH session.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
