If you cannot patch yet, organizations should review delegated administrator privileges carefully and restrict API/REST access to trusted personnel only. Monitoring and limiting the use of the workspace app's delegated admin functionality can reduce risk.
Description
A vulnerability in the team folders (formerly group folders) app when used in combination with the workspace app allowed API/REST-only delegated administrators to bypass folder-level authorization controls. The workspace app enables organizations to delegate limited administrative privileges for team folder management via API/REST only, restricting access to folders for which the admin has advanced permissions.
