Technical details

The plugin's login-approval feature checks only a site-level capability without verifying that the administrator has permission to manage the specific user account being targeted. On WordPress Multisite, this allows a subsite administrator to use bulk actions to change the approval and login state of user accounts belonging to other sites in the network. This is an improper authorization/broken access control vulnerability (CWE-863).
