The vulnerability is categorized as CWE\u2011266, illustrating that improper control over user privileges can be abused. When exploited, an attacker can elevate their permissions, potentially reaching administrator rights and manipulating site content or configuration.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The severity of privilege escalation is high, as it can compromise the entire site. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote, achieved by exploiting the plugin's admin functionality or by inserting forged requests to the plugin\u2019s endpoints. Because the vulnerability allows privilege elevation, the potential impact spans confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected site."}}}}, "created": "2026-03-25T21:47:20.887986+00:00", "updated": "2026-03-25T21:47:20.888017+00:00", "vendors": []}
