privilege escalation vulnerabilities
Privilege escalation vulnerabilities refer to security weaknesses that allow an unauthorized user to gain elevated levels of access and privileges in a computer system or network, surpassing their initially assigned permissions. This enables them to execute actions or access data they would not normally be authorized to do so, posing a significant risk to the system's security and potentially leading to further exploitation or compromise.
