Descriptions

The Advanced Access Manager plugin before 6.6.2 for WordPress allows privilege escalation on profile updates via the aam_user_roles POST parameter if Multiple Role support is enabled. (The mechanism for deciding whether a user was entitled to add a role did not work in various custom-role scenarios.)

El plugin Advanced Access Manager versiones anteriores a 6.6.2 para WordPress, permite una escalada de privilegios en las actualizaciones de perfil por medio del parámetro POST aam_user_roles si la compatibilidad con Roles Múltiples está habilitada. (El mecanismo para decidir si un usuario tenía derecho a agregar un rol no funcionó en varios escenarios de roles personalizados).
