Due to an incorrect authorization check in Zulip Server 5.4 and earlier, a member of an organization could craft an API call that grants organization administrator privileges to one of their bots. The vulnerability is fixed in Zulip Server 5.5. Members who don’t own any bots, and lack permission to create them, can’t exploit the vulnerability. As a workaround for the vulnerability, an organization administrator can restrict the `Who can create bots` permission to administrators only, and change the ownership of existing bots."

Debido a una comprobación de autorización incorrecta en Zulip Server versiones 5.4 y anteriores, un miembro de una organización podría diseñar una llamada a la API que conceda privilegios de administrador de la organización a uno de sus bots. La vulnerabilidad ha sido corregida en Zulip Server versión 5.5. Los miembros que no posean ningún bot, y carezcan de permiso para crearlos, no pueden explotar la vulnerabilidad. Como mitigación a la vulnerabilidad, un administrador de la organización puede restringir el permiso \"Who can create bots\" a administradores solamente, y cambiar la propiedad de los bots existentes"
