The Automatic User Roles Switcher WordPress plugin before 1.1.2 does not have authorisation and proper CSRF checks, allowing any authenticated users like subscriber to add any role to themselves, such as administrator
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
