📄 Description (English)

The ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the pm_invite_user function in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.8.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to add themselves or any registered user to any ProfileGrid group, including closed and paid groups, bypassing all authorization and payment gates.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

ProfileGrid WordPress plugin versions up to 5.9.8.4 lack capability checks in the pm_invite_user function, allowing authenticated subscribers to add themselves or others to any group including paid ones. This vulnerability bypasses authorization and payment mechanisms, enabling unauthorized access to restricted communities.

📄 Description (Arabic)

ثغرة في إضافة ProfileGrid الشهيرة لـ WordPress تسمح للمستخدمين المصرح لهم بالوصول غير المصرح به إلى المجموعات المقيدة والمدفوعة. الدالة pm_invite_user لا تتحقق من صلاحيات المستخدم بشكل صحيح، مما يسمح بتجاوز بوابات الدفع والتفويض.

🤖 ملخص تنفيذي (AI)

ثغرة في إضافة ProfileGrid لـ WordPress تصل إلى الإصدار 5.9.8.4 تفتقد فحوصات الصلاحيات في دالة pm_invite_user. يمكن للمستخدمين المصرح لهم على مستوى المشترك إضافة أنفسهم أو مستخدمين آخرين إلى أي مجموعة بما فيها المجموعات المدفوعة والمغلقة.
