Description

The ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.8.9. This is due to a lack of validation on user-supplied data in the 'pm_upload_image' AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update their user capabilities to Administrator.

Affected WordPress components

  • ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities Plugin · profilegrid-user-profiles-groups-and-communities
    Confirmed match Active
    Up to and including 5.8.9; Before 5.8.9
    View on WordPress.org

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

  • metagauss ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities — Up to and including 5.8.9
  • metagauss profilegrid — Before 5.8.9
  • metagauss profilegrid — Before 5.9.0
