⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case

Likely Case
Unauthorized users could access restricted administrative functions, view sensitive order information, or modify plugin settings without proper authentication.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation, strong authentication, and minimal user privileges, impact would be limited to the specific plugin functionality rather than full system compromise.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires some level of access to the WordPress site but does not require administrative privileges. Attackers could leverage this to escalate privileges or access restricted functionality.
