CVSS v3.1
Official Description
EMC Documentum Content Server before 6.7 SP2 P17, 7.0 through P15, and 7.1 before P08 does not properly check authorization for subtypes of protected system types, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain super-user privileges for system-object creation, and bypass intended restrictions on data access and server actions, via unspecified vectors.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2014-4621 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
