The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 6.8 (medium) and is classified under CWE-79 (WPScan).

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow authenticated users with contributor privileges or higher to inject and store malicious JavaScript code that would execute when other users view the affected pages. This could lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other malicious actions performed in the context of the victim's browser (WPScan).

Mitigation and workarounds

No known fix has been released for this vulnerability. Site administrators should consider restricting access to the contributor role, reviewing and monitoring content submissions, or temporarily disabling the plugin until a security update is available (WPScan).
