Description

The ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized message deletion due to a missing capability check on the pg_delete_msg() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.8.1. This is due to the function not verifying that the requesting user has permission to delete the targeted message. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary messages belonging to any user by sending a direct request with a valid message ID (mid parameter).

Affected WordPress components

  • ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities Plugin · profilegrid-user-profiles-groups-and-communities
    Confirmed match Active
    Up to and including 5.9.8.1
    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.

Affected products and versions

  • metagauss ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities — Up to and including 5.9.8.1
