Technical details and impact analysis
### Summary
According to the [permission docs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html) and [test case docs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/test_cases/index.html#create-a-test-case) , only user with a role `Reporter` or more is allowed to create a test case. This vulnerability allows, even `Guest` role users to create new test cases.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Consider a private project with `Guest` role user.
2. Consider the API for creating an `issue`.
The URL is https://gitlab.com/project_name/-/issues (POST).
POST Data format for this is as follows:
```
utf8=✓
authenticity_token= your_auth_token
issue[title]=issue_title
issue[description]=issue_description
issue[confidential]=0
issue[issue_type]=issue
issue[lock_version]=0
```
3. Now, in the parameter_set, tamper with `issue[issue_type]` value and change it from `issue` to `test_case`.
4. Now, send the request.
5. A test case is now created.
The test case can be viewed at https://gitlab.com/project_name/-/quality/test_cases
## Impact
Test Cases are important part of a project as it helps product, quality and development teams to combine and Guest users should not be allowed to create it.
