Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
The NetworkManager role was granted backup and restore permission. The restore endpoint accepted any valid SQLite file without verifying its contents.
## Impact
A NetworkManager could replace the production database with a tampered copy to escalate to Admin, gaining access to user management, audit logs, debug endpoints, and operator identity configuration that the role was explicitly denied.
## Fix
Backup and restore permissions have been removed from the NetworkManager role.
