What is CVE-2018-16838?

A vulnerability exists in the sssd implementation of Group Policy Objects, which can lead to unauthorized access. If the necessary permissions for GPO are not appropriately set on the server, sssd mistakenly permits all authenticated users to log in, ignoring the defined access restrictions. This could expose sensitive systems to potential unauthorized user access, thereby undermining the integrity and security of the environment.
