This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to extract valid administrator password-reset keys from stored email logs and complete the WordPress password-reset flow to escalate privileges to administrator. Exploitation requires an administrator to have previously configured the plugin\u0027s default_view_role setting to a capability held by low-privileged users such as \u0027read\u0027; on an untouched install the default of \u0027manage_options\u0027 restricts log access to administrators only."
