Official Description
UiPath Orchestrator through 2018.2.4 allows any authenticated user to change the information of arbitrary users (even administrators) leading to privilege escalation and remote code execution.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2018-17305 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.
