Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- Unknown HIPAA Forms: fixed in 3.3.2

## Description

The HIPAA Forms WordPress plugin before 3.3.2 does not perform a capability check when handling a request that rebuilds its own custom user role, allowing a user who already holds that role to grant it administrator-level capabilities and escalate their privileges.
