Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Xaraya, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to missing privilege checks within certain form handlers of the Roles module. This can be exploited to e.g. create or modify user accounts by sending specially crafted POST or GET request to a vulnerable Xaraya installation.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to gain administrator privileges.

Note: Version 1.1.3 also adds an additional security check for a previously reported local file inclusion vulnerability.
