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.
Description
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.
