The vulnerability, initially dismissed as low severity, could impact core functions and plugins, potentially exposing sensitive data. The author proposes a mitigation strategy involving a whitelist of external hosts to curb exploitation. Is your WordPress setup secure? For advertising opportunities, visit Avonetics.com.
