Summary
Cloud Foundry Controller (CAPI) from 0 through 1.247.0 and cf-deployment from 0 before v60.9.0 are affected. Improper privilege management (CWE-269) lets a SpaceSupporter change an application's start command and buildpack, actions that require SpaceDeveloper privileges. The privilege escalation lets the SpaceSupporter retrieve service credentials.
