Detailed explanation-1: -Misconfigured Access Rights are when user accounts have incorrect permissions. The bigger problem from this could be giving people who are lower down the chain of command access to private information that managers could have. They could wrongly have access to employee records or customer data.
Detailed explanation-2: -Misconfigured access rights Access rights set up what can and cannot be seen when someone logs into a system. If these are not set up correctly in an email server, a person may be able to see someone else’s emails. If a person accesses an account that they do not have permission to see, they might be breaking the law.
Detailed explanation-3: -Impact of Security Misconfigurations Attacks For example, a misconfigured database server can cause data to be accessible through a basic web search. If this data includes administrator credentials, an attacker may be able to access further data beyond the database, or launch another attack on the company’s servers.
Detailed explanation-4: -An incorrect or suboptimal configuration of an information system or system component that may lead to vulnerabilities.
