Description
Storyden through 1.26.16 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows users holding MANAGE_ROLES to grant the ADMINISTRATOR permission without being administrators. Attackers can call AccountAddRole on another controlled account or use RoleCreate and RoleUpdate to create administrator roles, taking full control of the instance.
