Privilege escalation
From NetSec
Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker is able to exploit a system to gain higher level privileges than already-obtained access.
Examples:
- Escalation from user to administrator or root user of the operating system
- Escalation from forum user to forum administrator
- Code execution outside of the bounds of the users expected privileges
