Executive Risk Summary
"A difficult-to-exploit improper authentication issue in Esri Portal for ArcGIS could allow a remote, authenticated attacker with low-privileged access to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the software. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to cross an authentication and authorization boundary beyond their originally assigned access, resulting in a scope change."
