BSA Radar 1.6.7234.24750 – Authenticated Privilege Escalation
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists within Global RADAR BSA Radar 1.6.7234.X that allows an authenticated, low-privileged user to escalate their privileges to administrator rights (i.e. the "BankAdmin" role) via a forged request to the SaveUser API. The privilege escalation is achieved by saving the response of the GetUser request (from clicking the username in the top right). When this profile is saved it will send a request to the SaveUserProfile endpoint. This response can be saved and modified (while updating it as needed to escalate privileges to BankAdmin role) then sent to the SaveUser endpoint which is the endpoint used for admins to update privileges of any user. After successful privilege escalation, a user can then access the Administration features and modify the application or accounts, cause further damage to the application and users, or exfiltrate application data.
