Technical details

The plugins process role deletion requests on every page load without capability checks, nonce validation, or authentication. A logic flaw in the role-protection guard checks a different part of the request than the one that determines which role is deleted, allowing the protection to be bypassed. Unauthenticated network attackers can trigger role deletion by crafting a malicious request.
