Official Description
BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, and 7.0 SP6 and earlier, might allow local users to gain privileges by using the run-as deployment descriptor element to change the privileges of a web application or EJB from the Deployer security role to the Admin security role.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2005-4752 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
