Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-11-22 00:31 – Updated: 2025-11-22 00:31Black Duck SCA versions prior to 2025.10.0 had user role permissions configured in an overly broad manner. Users with the scoped Project Manager user role with the Global User Read access permission enabled access to certain Project Administrator functionalities which should have be inaccessible. Exploitation does not grant full system control, but it may enable unauthorized changes to project configurations or access to system sensitive information.

Mitigation MIT-1
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Mitigation MIT-17
Strategy: Environment Hardening
Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
