Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ProfileGrid versions prior to 5.9.9.7
Description
An authentication bypass exists in the ProfileGrid plugin that allows for privilege escalation via account takeover. The issue occurs because the plugin fails to properly validate a user's identity before updating account details, such as the password. This allows unauthenticated attackers to change the passwords of arbitrary users, including administrators, to gain unauthorized access to their accounts.
Recommendations
Update the plugin to a version newer than 5.9.9.6.
Fix
Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
