CVE-2026-42185: CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management in suitenumerique people
People is an application to handle users and teams, and distribute permissions across La Suite.

Technical Summary
The vulnerability in suitenumerique 'people' (CVE-2026-42185) involves improper privilege management (CWE-269). Specifically, users with Administrator privileges on a mail domain could escalate privileges by promoting any existing user, including those without current domain access, to the Owner role via a single authenticated HTTP request.
