Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Revanth Hari Narayana Matte.

The Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the 'reset-for' endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 8.8.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reactivate a role they previously held.
