Description
The Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) WordPress plugin before 8.8.4, admin-site-enhancements-pro WordPress plugin before 8.8.4 does not perform authentication, authorization, or nonce checks on a role-restoration request handler, allowing unauthenticated attackers to restore a previously demoted administrator account back to the administrator role. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2024-43333 / CVE-2025-24648, which closed the issue for only one of the demotion paths the WordPress role API exposes.
