A privilege escalation vulnerability may enable a service account to elevate its privileges. The sudo rules configured for a local service account were excessively permissive, potentially allowing administrative access if a malicious actor could execute arbitrary commands as that account. It is important to note that no such vector has been identified in this instance.
Solution:
The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.
