CVE-2024-6411 Information

Description

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.
