Why it matters

— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board
1

Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1

Attacker
I authenticate to the domain as a standard user with access to the Session Recording server.
Business
Attacker gains initial foothold within the trusted domain perimeter.
2

Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2

Attacker
I identify and exploit the improper privilege management flaw in Session Recording to escalate my access level.
Business
Privilege boundary controls fail, allowing lateral movement beyond intended user scope.
3

Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3

Attacker
