What is Setuid/Setgid Misconfiguration?

Setuid (set user ID) and setgid (set group ID) are file permission flags that allow a program to be executed with the privileges of the file's owner or group, respectively. Misconfiguration of setuid/setgid can lead to privilege escalation if a vulnerable program is executed with elevated privileges.
