Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere vulnerability in Metagauss ProfileGrid allows Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data. This issue affects ProfileGrid : from n/a through 5.9.5.2.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in ProfileGrid WordPress plugin versions up to 5.9.5.2 allows authenticated attackers with low privileges to retrieve sensitive system information, such as full server paths. This exposure can aid in further attacks by revealing the underlying directory structure. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified, and the EPSS score is low (0.06%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a CWE-497: Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere. It affects the ProfileGrid plugin for WordPress, which is a user profiles and communities plugin. The issue allows retrieval of embedded sensitive data, likely through a path disclosure flaw that exposes the full server path in error messages or debug output. The CVSS vector indicates a network attack vector with low attack complexity, low privileges required, and no user interaction, but only low confidentiality impact.
RemediationAI
Update ProfileGrid to version 5.9.5.3 or later, as the vulnerability is fixed in that release. The vendor advisory from Patchstack confirms the fix. As a workaround, restrict access to the plugin's debug or error reporting features if possible, or disable the plugin until an update is applied. Note that disabling the plugin may affect user profile functionality.
