✍️ BUG

privilege escalation bug to pin a threads

🕵️‍♂️ Proof of Concept

1. Frist from admin account goto http://localhost/uvdesk/public/en/member/agents and add new user called user B with Agent role .
Now gives user-B all tikceting permission like can update/add/edit/delete/lock/pin to a ticket etc .
Also gives bellow permission

Ticket View--->Individual Access

So, here user-B can access only ticket that is assigned to him .

2. Now admin create a new ticket and the ticketing url will be like http://localhost/uvdesk/public/en/member/ticket/view/1 .
Dont assign this ticket to user B .
So, user B should not seee this ticket.\

3. Now goto user B account and here user B cant see above ticket using url http://localhost/uvdesk/public/en/member/ticket/view/1 . user B get permission denied .
Finally user-B sent bellow request to pin a threads
