MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Techniques

T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
Why these techniques?

The local permission verification bypass (no privileges required) directly enables exploitation for privilege escalation, allowing high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability by circumventing access controls in the notification module.
