      "value": "The WP Human Resource Management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary User Deletion due to a missing authorization within the ajax_delete_employee() function in versions 2.0.0 through 2.2.17. The plugin\u2019s deletion handler reads the client-supplied $_POST[\u0027delete\u0027] array and passes each ID directly to wp_delete_user() without verifying that the caller has the delete_users capability or limiting which user IDs may be removed. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Employee-level access and above, to delete arbitrary accounts, including administrators."

El gestor de eliminaci\u00f3n del complemento lee la matriz $_POST[\u0027delete\u0027] proporcionada por el cliente y pasa cada ID directamente a wp_delete_user() sin verificar que el usuario tenga la capacidad delete_users ni limitar los ID de usuario que se pueden eliminar. Esto permite a atacantes autenticados, con acceso de empleado o superior, eliminar cuentas arbitrarias, incluyendo las de administrador."
