Descriptions

Mattermost versions 9.9.x <= 9.9.1, 9.5.x <= 9.5.7, 9.10.x <= 9.10.0 and 9.8.x <= 9.8.2 fail to restrict which roles can promote a user as system admin which allows a System Role with edit access to the permissions section of system console to update their role (e.g. member) to include the `manage_system` permission, effectively becoming a System Admin.

Las versiones de Mattermost 9.9.x &lt;= 9.9.1, 9.5.x &lt;= 9.5.7, 9.10.x &lt;= 9.10.0 y 9.8.x &lt;= 9.8.2 no restringen qué roles pueden promover a un usuario como administrador del sistema y cuáles permite que una función del sistema con acceso de edición a la sección de permisos de la consola del sistema actualice su función (por ejemplo, miembro) para incluir el permiso `manage_system`, convirtiéndose efectivamente en un administrador del sistema.
