## Technical details

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in GLPI's user management API where the authtype parameter can be manipulated by authenticated technicians to modify another user's authentication method. Under SSO or legacy API REST configurations, this allows changing a super-administrator's authentication method to enable account takeover. The vulnerability affects versions 0.70 through 10.0.25 and 11.0.7.
