Vulnerability Overview

The Premmerce User Roles plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data and loss of data due to missing capability and nonce checks on the 'createRole', 'updateRole', and 'deleteRole' functions in versions up to, and including, 1.0.12. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to create, modify, and delete custom roles.
