Ubiquiti Inc.: UniFi Video web interface Configuration Restore user privilege escalation

Summary of the issue:
Low privileged UniFi Video users can abuse the Configuration Restore functionality to modify any application configuration setting, including creating new administrative users.

Details:
The UniFi Video Server (Windows) web interface configuration restore functionality at the “backup” and “wizard” endpoints does not implement sufficient privilege checks. Low privileged users, belonging to the PUBLIC_GROUP or CUSTOM_GROUP groups, can access these endpoints and overwrite the current application configuration. This can be abused for various purposes, including adding new administrative users.
