Description
The Custom API for WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.2. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting a users ability to set roles. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges.
