CVE-2023-3714: Metagauss Profilegrid

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The ProfileGrid plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'edit_group' handler in versions up to, and including, 5.5.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with group ownership, to update group options, including the 'associate_role' parameter, which defines the member's role. This issue was partially patched in version 5.5.2 preventing privilege escalation, however, it was fully patched in 5.5.3.

Affected products

• Metagauss Profilegrid: before 5.5.3 (fixed in 5.5.3)
