This flaw permits an adversary to gain unauthorized access to restricted administrative functions or modify plugin settings beyond their legitimate privileges, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site.", "risk_and_exploitability": "Because the CVE entry does not provide an EPSS score or a KEV listing, the explicit likelihood of exploitation is unknown. The nature of the flaw suggests that an attacker can remotely exploit it via the web interface, assuming they can reach the plugin\u2019s administrative endpoints. The lack of an official mitigation means that the risk relies on the organization\u2019s ability to apply a patch or mitigate the exposure. Organizations with permissive permissions for plugin management in the WordPress dashboard are the most likely to be impacted."}}}}, "created": "2026-03-25T21:44:20.011206+00:00", "updated": "2026-03-26T11:38:15.996024+00:00", "vendors": ["liquidthemes", "liquidthemes$PRODUCT$ave_core", "wordpress", "wordpress$PRODUCT$wordpress"]}
