Improper Privilege Management, as classified under CWE-269, occurs when a software application improperly manages or enforces access control policies, allowing unauthorised users to perform restricted actions. This weakness can lead to severe consequences, such as data breaches, privilege escalation, and compromise of system integrity.

By exploiting improper validation of user-supplied input, attackers can manipulate file paths to access sensitive system files, configuration files, or any other data stored on the server.
Insecure design refers to flaws or omissions at the design stage of application development that lead to vulnerabilities in the system. Unlike implementation bugs, which result from coding errors, insecure design represents a fundamental failure to consider and incorporate security principles during planning and architecture.
