AI-suggested

Upgrade the Post Duplicator plugin to version 3.0.18 or later, where this capability validation issue has been fixed. No other mitigation guidance is provided, and no indication that the issue is already mitigated without patching.

Description

The Post Duplicator WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.0.18 contain a vulnerability where the plugin does not properly validate capabilities assigned to roles via its permissions settings. This flaw allows a site administrator on a multisite network, who is not a Super Admin, to grant arbitrary capabilities to any role, including network-management capabilities that should be restricted to Super Admins.
