Description
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.

A privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in CouchCMS versions through 2.4.0. This vulnerability allows authenticated Admin-level users to create SuperAdmin accounts by manipulating the 'f_k_levels_list' parameter in user creation requests.
