CVE-2026-16534

A vulnerability exists in versions of the Import and export users and customers plugin prior to 2.4.2, where CSV imports fail to adhere to WordPress's role-based access controls and edit permissions for individual users, enabling a user with limited privileges to create administrative accounts and alter existing administrators' login credentials. This oversight allows an attacker to circumvent intended security restrictions during the import process.
