Title
Permissions bypass in the management console of Absolute Secure Access prior to version 13.54
Summary
CVE-2025-27702 is a vulnerability in the management console of Absolute
Secure Access prior to version 13.54. Attackers with administrative
access to the console and who have been assigned a certain set of
permissions can bypass those permissions to improperly modify settings.
The attack complexity is low, there are no preexisting attack
requirements; the privileges required are high, and there is no user
interaction required. There is no impact to system confidentiality or
availability, impact to system integrity is high.
