How I Created My Own Admin Account on a Production System
· 9 min read
In this write‑up, I’m going to share how I was able to create my own administrative account on a production platform belonging to a company recognized in the Fortune 50 Best Companies to Work For® List (2025). With no prior permissions, this flaw allowed me to delete any user, remove entire organizations, and gain unrestricted access to highly sensitive financial‑related records. I was also able to access and download internal files, including confidential PDFs and company submission documents, clearly demonstrating a critical security failure that required immediate remediation.
