Transitive access relationships refer to trusts, and if not addressed, these relationships can allow unauthorized personnel to access restricted data. SQL injection attacks are a type of transitive access attack performed from the client side using a web browser.
But the thing is in order to get access as a administrative to a system or a network you need to do a privilege escalation
This situation for the first part of this a question privilege escalation is the answer and for second part of this question transitive access is the answer
