CVE-2024-8253
A vulnerability in the Post Grid and Gutenberg Blocks WordPress plugin allows unauthorized users to gain elevated privileges. Versions 2.2.87 through 2.2.90 are affected by this issue, which arises from inadequate controls on modifying user metadata and a failure to verify form activation status. As a result, subscribers and higher-level users can manipulate their own metadata to acquire administrator access.
