What's going wrong

The HM Multiple Roles plugin has a reflected cross-site scripting flaw that was reported in July 2023 and several times after, through the support forum, a security scanner, and a vulnerability database. Site owners say no fix or reply came from the developer, so some deactivated the plugin entirely. Injected scripts could redirect visitors or show advertisements on affected sites. Owners running several sites or agencies are the most exposed, since they need to know which sites are at risk. The gap is a service that watches installed plugins for known vulnerabilities, tells owners exactly which sites are affected, and offers an interim patch or replacement path until an official fix ships.
