Summary

The ProfileGrid plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to exploit a PHP Object Injection issue. This occurs through the deserialization of untrusted input in the get_user_meta_fields_html function. Although no known PHP Object Pollution (POP) chain exists within the vulnerable software itself, the presence of a POP chain from other installed plugins or themes could grant attackers the ability to perform various malicious actions, including deleting files, retrieving sensitive information, or executing unauthorized code.
