Official Description

Load Sharing Facility (LSF) 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x uses the LSF_EAUTH_UID environment variable, if it exists, instead of the real UID of the user, which could allow remote attackers within the local cluster to gain privileges.

Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

An attacker within the local cluster can set the LSF_EAUTH_UID environment variable to a value corresponding to a higher-privileged user, causing LSF to use this value instead of the real UID of the attacker. This can lead to unauthorized access and privilege escalation.
