CyberRota Analysis
This is a high severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 7.5. It affects WordPress. Exploitation may require the attacker to be authenticated.
Original NVD Description
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.
