Vulnerability Overview

The Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the 'reset-for' endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 8.8.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reactivate a role they previously held.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 8.8.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
