Summary
The WPQA Builder Plugin WordPress plugin before 5.2, used as a companion plugin for the Discy and Himer , does not validate that the value passed to the image_id parameter of the ajax action wpqa_remove_image belongs to the requesting user, allowing any users (with privileges as low as Subscriber) to delete the profile pictures of any other user.
