If exploited, the vulnerability allows attackers to perform blind SQL injection attacks, potentially enabling them to extract sensitive information from the database. The attack can be executed through specially crafted requests to the WordPress admin-ajax endpoint (WPScan).
The vulnerability has been fixed in version 5.3.2 of the Email Subscribers & Newsletters plugin. Users are advised to update to this version or later to mitigate the risk (WPScan).
