CVE-2025-13416
The ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized user suspension due to a missing capability check on the pm_deactivate_user_from_group() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.9.7.2.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
