What is CVE-2023-3714?

The ProfileGrid plugin for WordPress is susceptible to unauthorized data manipulation due to insufficient capability checks on the 'edit_group' handler. This weakness allows authenticated attackers, who own specific groups, to modify critical group settings, including the 'associate_role' parameter that governs member roles. Although version 5.5.2 included a partial fix preventing privilege escalation, it is recommended to update to version 5.5.3, which resolves the vulnerability completely.
