CVE-2026-109927 Details
Description
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.
A privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in the HIPAA Forms WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 3.3.2. The issue arises because the plugin does not perform a capability check when processing requests to rebuild custom user roles. This oversight allows users with the relevant role to grant themselves administrator-level capabilities, thereby escalating their privileges.
Users are advised to update the HIPAA Forms WordPress plugin to version 3.3.2 or later.
