What is CVE-2019-15873?

The ProfileGrid User Profiles, Groups, and Communities plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that permits remote code execution through an AJAX request. When an attacker crafts a specific request to the 'wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' endpoint, including the 'action=pm_template_preview&html=<?php' parameter followed by malicious PHP code, they can execute arbitrary commands on the server. This poses a significant threat to the integrity and confidentiality of the site's data.
