description
MarkLogic Server 11.x releases earlier than 11.3.7 and 12.x releases earlier than 12.1.0 are affected in certain forest-management functions. A remote user with forest-management permissions may create an administrator account and gain administrative control of the server.
mitigation
Upgrade MarkLogic Server 11.x to 11.3.7 or later, or 12.x to 12.1.0 or later. Until upgrades are complete, limit forest-management permissions to trusted administrators.
