33-42: Consider caching the capability intersection check resultThe capability checks look good, but since
array_intersectis used twice (here and in the$has_rolecheck), consider storing the intersection result in a variable for reuse.Here's a suggested optimization:
$delete_caps = array( 'delete_published_docs' => true, 'delete_docs' => true, 'delete_others_docs' => true, 'delete_private_docs' => true, ); -if ( empty( array_intersect( array_keys( $delete_caps ), $caps ) ) ) { +$matching_caps = array_intersect( array_keys( $delete_caps ), $caps ); +if ( empty( $matching_caps ) ) { return $all_caps; }

28-30: Good addition of early return conditions!
The new conditions effectively prevent unnecessary capability checks and potential infinite loops by:
- Ensuring $_GET['post'] exists
- Verifying the post type is 'docs'
- Properly sanitizing the input with absint()
This is a key fix for the infinite loop issue.
13-13: Verify infinite loop prevention in capability check
While the syntax change is valid, we need to ensure that the capability check inside grant_delete_capability_to_specific_roles doesn't trigger recursive calls to user_has_cap.
Let's analyze the call stack for potential recursive capability checks:
✅ Verification successful
Let me analyze the implementation of grant_delete_capability_to_specific_roles to ensure there's no infinite loop. I need to see its full implementation.
Let me try a different approach to get the method implementation.
Let me get the rest of the method implementation to see how it concludes.
No infinite loop risk in capability check implementation
The implementation of grant_delete_capability_to_specific_roles is safe from infinite loops because:
- It has an early return if the post type isn't 'docs'
- It has an early return if the requested capabilities don't match delete capabilities
- It uses direct role comparison instead of recursive capability checks
- No
current_user_can()or other capability checks are used within the method

#!/bin/bash
# Search for any capability checks or get_post_type calls within the method

Line range hint 1-55: Verify security implications of capability changes
While the changes look secure, let's verify there are no unintended security implications:
- Capability assignments are properly scoped to specific roles
- Input sanitization is in place
- No privilege escalation possibilities
Let's check for any related security concerns:
✅ Verification successful
Let me gather more context about the capability assignments and security checks:
Let me check one final aspect about the permission settings function:
Based on the analysis of the code and verification results, I can now provide the final response:
Security implementation verified with proper safeguards
The capability implementation is secure because:
- Role-based access is properly scoped to administrators and editors by default
- Input sanitization is in place using
absint()for$_GET['post'] - Proper capability checks are implemented through WordPress core functions
- The pro version extension maintains the same security model through
wedocs_get_permission_settings()
