Technical details

The plugin treats any user whose role is in its allowed-roles list (Editor and above by default) as authorized for all REST API actions without proper capability verification, resulting in a horizontal privilege escalation. An authenticated Editor-level user can enumerate all registered users with email addresses and modify the plugin's access-control configuration through REST API calls. The vulnerability exists through version 2.1.6 and requires authentication with at least Editor role.
