Likely Case
Attackers inject malicious scripts that execute in victims' browsers, potentially stealing session cookies or performing unauthorized actions on the WordPress site.
If Mitigated
With proper CSRF protections and input validation, the vulnerability would be prevented from being exploited.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires tricking authenticated users into visiting a malicious page. The CSRF leads to stored XSS, making exploitation relatively straightforward once the initial CSRF is successful.
