Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Peter Tang.
The OAuth Single Sign On – SSO (OAuth Client) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.3. This is due to insufficient restriction on the capabilities a user may grant themselves. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges beyond those intended for their role.
