PublishPress Capabilities: User Role Access Control, Admin Area Permissions < 2.50.0 - Authenticated (Editor+) Privilege Escalation

Description

The PublishPress Capabilities: User Role Access Control, Admin Area Permissions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.45.0. This is due to insufficient restriction on the capabilities a user may grant themselves. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access and above, to elevate their privileges beyond those intended for their role.
