As immediate action, update the affected plugin. If you're unable to do so, ask your hosting provider or web developer for help.
Due to the nature and pre-requisites of the vulnerability, a mitigation rule has not been deployed. We do not expect mass-exploitation.
While this vulnerability can be initiated by the role shown in "Required Privilege", successful exploitation requires a privileged user to perform an action — such as clicking a malicious link, visiting a crafted page, or submitting a form.
A low-privilege user can become an admin and gain full control.
CVSS score is a way to evaluate and rank reported vulnerabilities in a standardized and repeatable way but which is not ideal for WordPress.
This security issue has a low severity impact and is unlikely to be exploited.
Update to version 2.10.7 or later to resolve the vulnerability. Patchstack users can turn on auto-update for vulnerable plugins only.
