Excessive privileges

Description

A user with access to the application can generate an error within the application to gain access to the SharePoint platform. From which they can create groups with excessive privileges, to use functions that were not possible to access initially. Also, they can modify or remove permissions that other users or groups have on the application and share content with users who initially did not have access.
