Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Privilege Management due to insufficient authorization enforcement when modifying user group memberships. An attacker can gain higher-level privileges by assigning highly privileged roles without proper validation of their own permissions.

Note:

This is only exploitable if an authenticated backoffice user has permission to manage users.
