## Technical details

The plugin fails to enforce object-level authorization checks on host-management operations, allowing authenticated users with the custom administrator role to perform IDOR attacks on other hosts' records and linked WordPress accounts. The vulnerability requires the attacker to hold the plugin's own administrator-assigned custom role and conduct operations via API or interface tampering. This is classified as Broken Access Control (CWE-639) and is remotely exploitable by authorized users.
