Privilege escalation
Privilege escalation
is the act of exploiting a
bug
, design flaw or configuration oversight in an
operating system
or
software application
to gain elevated access to
resources
that are normally protected from an application or
user
. The result is that an application with more
privileges
than intended by the
application developer
or
system administrator
can perform
unauthorized
actions.
