Guest Privilege Escalation to admin group, a critcial vulnerability of OS

Post by Shane1145 »

Due to improper ACLs it was found possible to escalate privileges from a guest user to admin.
As first step the guest user adds itself to the bot group that holds the manage-own-integrations permission. With this permission it is possible to create a custom Integration with a script that, if triggered, adds the user to the admin group.
The insertOrUpdateUser method improperly validates a users permissions to change its groups. Because an explicit check prevents from adding itself to the admin group directly, the privileges of the bot group need to be used to.
