What is CVE-2021-36230?

HashiCorp Terraform Enterprise prior to version 202107-1 was susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability due to inadequate authorization checks for certain API requests executed using run tokens. This flaw allowed attackers to exploit the API and elevate their privileges to become organization owners, potentially leading to unauthorized access and control over sensitive resources. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to the latest version, v202107-1, to mitigate this security risk.
