Until an official fix is available, restrict subscriber-level user capabilities where possible and monitor for suspicious activity related to user meta modifications. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to low-level users.
Description
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_remove_file_attachment() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.3.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary user meta which can do things like deny an administrator's access to their site. .
