Source Name: g30ff1rl

Affected Software: Beakon Software
Affected Versions: versions prior to 5.4.3

Proof of Concept/Content:

An authenticated user with low privileges (e.g., contractor employee, 'user') can exploit this vulnerability by directly sending crafted requests (e.g., creating a user by using administrator's user role ID). Due to missing or improper authorization checks, the low privilege user can create its own rogue higher-privileged users (e.g., administrator), which results into elevating the privilege to become administrator.
