If you cannot patch yet, consider restricting access to notification deletion functionality or monitoring for suspicious activity related to notification deletions.

The ProfileGrid WordPress plugin before 5.9.9.8 does not verify that a notification belongs to the requesting user before deleting it, allowing any authenticated user such as a Subscriber to delete other users' notifications by enumerating notification identifiers.
