Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Denver Jackson.
The SureDash plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.3. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting a user's ability to set roles. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges.
