CVE-2025-11620: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in jemoreto Multiple Roles per User
The Multiple Roles per User plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'mrpu_add_multiple_roles_ui' and 'mrpu_save_multiple_user_roles' functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, granted the 'edit_users' capability, to edit any user's role, including promoting users to Administrator and demoting Administrators to lower-privileged roles.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-11620 describes a missing authorization vulnerability in the jemoreto Multiple Roles per User WordPress plugin. The plugin fails to perform capability checks in the 'mrpu_add_multiple_roles_ui' and 'mrpu_save_multiple_user_roles' functions, allowing authenticated users with 'edit_users' privileges to arbitrarily change user roles, including elevating privileges to Administrator or reducing Administrator privileges. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with 'edit_users' capability can exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges by assigning Administrator roles to arbitrary users or demote existing Administrators, potentially leading to full site compromise. The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the WordPress site and its data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict 'edit_users' capability to only fully trusted administrators and monitor user role changes closely. Avoid granting 'edit_users' capability to untrusted users. Follow updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security advisories for patch releases.
