CVE-2021-38616
In Eigen NLP 3.10.1, a lack of access control on the /auth/v1/user/{user-guid}/ user edition endpoint could permit any logged-in user to increase their own permissions via a user_permissions array in a PATCH request.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.31%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
