Descriptions

The ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the pm_dismissible_notice and pm_wizard_update_group_icon functions in all versions up to, and including, 5.8.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to change arbitrary options to the value '1' or change group icons.

El complemento ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities para WordPress es vulnerable a modificaciones no autorizadas de datos debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en las funciones pm_dismissible_notice y pm_wizard_update_group_icon en todas las versiones hasta la 5.8.6 incluida. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor y superior, cambien opciones arbitrarias al valor '1' o cambien íconos de grupo.
