Does this affect you?

It affects Unknown HIPAA Forms. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

EPSS puts the chance of exploitation in the next 30 days at 0.40%, higher than 34% of scored CVEs.

The HIPAA Forms WordPress plugin before 3.3.2 does not perform a capability check when handling a request that rebuilds its own custom user role, allowing a user who already holds that role to grant it administrator-level capabilities and escalate their privileges.
