Summary

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 makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update their user capabilities to Administrator.
