Root Privilege Escalation

Root Privilege Escalation is a security attack vector in which an adversary leverages a vulnerability, misconfiguration, or design flaw to transition from a lower-privileged user context to the highest-privileged administrative or root-level access within a system, thereby subverting access controls and enabling unrestricted system manipulation.
