MyBB 1.8.40 does not restrict which usergroup a limited Admin Control Panel user may assign when creating or editing users; the user module offers the Administrators group (gid 4) and its datahandler's verify_usergroup() unconditionally returns true. An admin holding only the delegated user-management permission can assign the Administrators group to an account and escalate to the full Administrator permission set.

Rejected reason: This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority. This CVE was assigned on the basis that the permission system allows a limited administrator to grant privileges exceeding their own authorization scope, potentially constituting an insecure default configuration. Following a dispute, the MITRE TL-Root determined the behavior reflects documented and intended product design rather than a security vulnerability.
