"WordPress ProfileGrid Group Option Unauthorized Modification"
Description

The ProfileGrid plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the 'edit_group' handler in versions up to, and including, 5.5.2.

This issue was partially patched in version 5.5.2 preventing privilege escalation, however, it was fully patched in 5.5.3.
