ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities < 5.9.9.7 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation via Password Reset

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their details such as their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary users' passwords, including administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
