GHSA-q3p9-8728-wq7x — Drupal saving user accounts can sometimes grant the user all roles

The advisory, in context

The User module in Drupal 6.x before 6.38 and 7.x before 7.43 allows remote attackers to gain privileges by leveraging contributed or custom code that calls the user_save function with an explicit category and loads all roles into the array.
