Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 6.1.7

Description The issue is related to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the wpas get users() function, which is hooked via AJAX. This allows authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to retrieve user data, such as emails.
