By exploiting incorrectly configured security levels, an unauthenticated user could gain unauthorized access to functions normally protected by the plugin, potentially leading to unauthorized data viewing, modification or deletion. The weakness aligns with CWE-862, indicating that the application failed to enforce proper authorization checks, thereby threatening the confidentiality and integrity of content managed through the plugin.", "risk_and_exploitability": "Precise CVSS or EPSS metrics are not provided, and the vulnerability is not listed in the KEV catalogue. The attack vector is likely remote via the web interface, as the plugin functions within a WordPress site. Because the flaw permits bypassing access controls, the potential impact ranges from data exposure to broader site compromise, making the risk significant for sites not yet patched or properly configured."}}}}, "created": "2026-03-25T21:43:41.195526+00:00", "updated": "2026-03-25T21:43:41.195559+00:00", "vendors": []}
