Summary
An issue in ThingsBoard 3.4.1 allows low-privileged attackers (CUSTOMER_USER) to escalate privileges to administrator level (TENANT_ADMIN or SYS_ADMIN). The attack requires knowledge of the corresponding API parameter (authority: value).
Risk Assessment
The risk involves potential full control takeover of the application by an unauthorized user, leading to compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and system availability.
Recommendation
Immediately update ThingsBoard to a patched version and implement access control mechanisms and API monitoring.
