Elastic X-Pack Security versions 5.0.0 to 5.4.0 contain a privilege escalation bug in the run_as functionality. This bug prevents transitioning into the specified user specified in a run_as request.

Additionally if the run_as user specified does not exist, the transition will not happen.Enginsight
