An elevation of privilege vulnerability in Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) caused by insufficient granularity of access control. The flaw allows an already authorized attacker with low privileges to perform local privilege escalation on an affected AD FS system. Microsoft assessed the issue as Important severity with CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H and indicated that successful exploitation can result in administrator-level access.
