ProfileGrid <= 5.9.8.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection via 'rid' Parameter
Description
The ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to blind SQL Injection via the 'rid' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.8.4 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

For information on how to secure WordPress plugins against vulnerabilities like SQL injection, I recommend consulting the official WordPress Plugin Handbook's security section or searching for resources on "WordPress SQL injection prevention" and the proper usage of the $wpdb->prepare() function. These resources provide guidance on sanitizing user input and using parameterized queries to protect your site.
