Description

The iBryl Switch User plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying if a user has the appropriate permissions to switch as another user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to access other users accounts and elevate their privileges when that account has administrative, or other, level access.
