Subscriber-level license tampering via exposed nonce
Published Jul 24, 2026 · Updated Jul 24, 2026
Missing authorization in Metagauss ProfileGrid before 5.9.9.7 allows remote authenticated users to overwrite premium license settings. The license-management AJAX handlers validate only a nonce that every logged-in user's wp-admin page exposes, without checking capabilities. Subscriber-level access reaches activation and deactivation actions, but writes remain limited to ProfileGrid license-key and license-ID options.
