The vulnerability has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) from NVD with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, while Patchstack assessed it with a score of 7.1 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H (NVD).

Impact

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been fixed in version 2.9.11 of the Pods plugin. Users are advised to update to this version or later to remediate the security issue (Patchstack).
