The Security Hardener plugin for WordPress contains a missing authorization flaw. The issue occurs because the user-enumeration protection, enabled by default, uses the `secure user endpoints()` function to hook the `rest endpoints` filter. This process overwrites the `permission callback` for all handlers on the '/wp/v2/users' and '/wp/v2/users/{id}' endpoints—including POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods—with a closure that only checks if a user is logged in via `is user logged in()`. Consequently, original WordPress Core capability checks such as `create users`, `promote user`, `edit users`, and `delete users` are removed. This allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to create new Administrator accounts via POST requests to '/wp/v2/users' or reset Administrator passwords via PUT/POST requests to '/wp/v2/users/{id}'.
