The HIPAA Forms WordPress plugin before 3.3.2 does not perform a capability check when handling a request that rebuilds its own custom user role, allowing a user who already holds that role to grant it administrator-level capabilities and escalate their privileges.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions | ||||||
