The issue is located in the privilege management code and is exposed in the cases where a cluster node has a high degree of privilege such as a system management node running on a high-privilege VMWare host.

In versions 8.2.x-9.4.0.x of Dell PowerScale OneFS, high privilege nodes can resync with high privilege nodes, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
In versions 8.2.x-9.4.0.x of Dell PowerScale OneFS, privilege activation can lead to privilege context switching which can be exploited by a local malicious user to escalate privileges and gain full system compromise.
