Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Ryan Fabella.
The Koinonia Link plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions 1.1.2 through 1.1.4. This is due to insufficient restriction on the capabilities a user may grant themselves. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges beyond those intended for their role.
