Descriptions

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 is due to a lack of validation on user-supplied data in the 'pm_upload_image' AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update their user capabilities to Administrator.

El complemento ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities para WordPress es vulnerable a la escalada de privilegios en todas las versiones hasta la 5.8.9 incluida. Esto se debe a una falta de validación de los datos proporcionados por el usuario en la acción AJAX 'pm_upload_image'. Esto hace posible que los atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor y superior, actualicen sus capacidades de usuario a Administrador.
