What is CVE-2019-11553?
CVE-2019-11553 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 19 Jul 2019. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
In Code42 for Enterprise through 6.8.4, an administrator without web restore permission but with the ability to manage users in an organization can impersonate a user with web restore permission. When requesting the token to do a web restore, an administrator with permission to manage a user could request the token of that user. If the administrator was not authorized to perform web restores but the user was authorized to perform web restores, this would allow the administrator to impersonate the user with greater permissions. In order to exploit this vulnerability, the user would have to be an administrator with access to manage an organization with a user with greater permissions than themselves.
