🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - WordPress sites are typically internet-facing, and this plugin is widely used, making many sites potentially vulnerable to remote attacks.
🏢 Internal Only: LOW - WordPress sites are rarely deployed exclusively internally, and the plugin's functionality is primarily for public-facing websites.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
