Privilege escalation in rbac

Description

### Impact Using a carefully crafted request or malicious proxy, a user with `UserWrite` permissions could create another user with higher privileges than their own due to insufficient checks on the allowed set of permissions. The event would be captured in the Event Log. ### Patches The issue has been fixed in 0.24.0 and 0.23.1. ### Workarounds For users who are unable to upgrade, we recommend auditing users who have `UserWrite` permissions and regularly reviewing the Event Log for malicious activity. ### Kudos Thank you to Michael Mazzolini (Ethical Hacker at WHO) for finding and disclosing this vulnerability.
