What is CVE-2021-42562?

In CALDERA version 2.8.1, a vulnerability exists due to insufficient segregation of user privileges. This flaw allows non-administrative users to read and modify configuration settings and other critical components that should be restricted to administrative access. Effective security practices are compromised as unauthorized users can intervene where they shouldn’t be able to, leading to potential exploitation and data leakage.
