Directories Pro permits Subscriber privilege escalation
Directories Pro through 2.0.5 allows a Subscriber to cross an authorization boundary and gain elevated privileges, with high confidentiality and integrity impact. Its prose explicitly requires a Subscriber even though the published CVSS vector encodes no privileges required; this archive retains the stated role and leaves the vector inconsistency unresolved.
