Summary

There is a misconfiguration of access rights to a configuration tool of the web-based-management for a specific user, which allows to reset passwords of other users (except root). This allows an authenticated attacker to elevate his privileges.

Impact

An authenticated attacker can get further privileges allowing the attacker to change configuration and perform actions beyond the original user scope.
