CVE-2016-9489
In ManageEngine Applications Manager 12 and 13 before build 13200, an authenticated user is able to alter all of their own properties, including own group, i.e. changing their group to one with higher privileges like "ADMIN".
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.68%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
