CouchCMS contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows authenticated Admin-level users to create SuperAdmin accounts by tampering with the f_k_levels_list parameter in user creation requests. Attackers can modify the parameter value from 4 to 10 in the HTTP request body to bypass authorization validation and gain full application control, circumventing restrictions on SuperAdmin account creation and privilege assignment.
