      "value": "The User Role Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.64.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the update_roles() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to add or remove roles for arbitrary users, including escalating their privileges to administrator, via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link."

Esto se debe a la falta o la validaci\u00f3n incorrecta de nonce en la funci\u00f3n update_roles(). Esto permite que atacantes no autenticados agreguen o eliminen roles para usuarios arbitrarios, lo que incluye aumentar sus privilegios a administrador, a trav\u00e9s de una solicitud falsificada, siempre que puedan enga\u00f1ar a un administrador del sitio para que realice una acci\u00f3n como hacer clic en un enlace."
