Interesting...... I now get what you mean...
If I go to a SharePoint Site where i am just a member and then open "/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=6" then I can edit the members inside of the default members group. Even though I am just a member there.
This does not happen if I try the same with the owners or visitors group. Not even if I create a new group that has "Edit" permissions.
This seems to be some kind of huge bug with the "default" members group in SharePoint.
As a workaround for the time being for "critical" sites i would suggest creating a new custom group with "Edit" permissions and moving the members there.
Best Regards,
Sven
