The EPSS score is less than 1%, showing the likelihood of exploitation is low but non\u2011zero, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must first authenticate to WordPress with Subscriber or higher permissions; from there, they can use the sSearch parameter in the plugin\u2019s AJAX endpoints to inject SQL. The attack vector is therefore an authenticated web application exploitation, likely triggered from the admin interface or plugin configuration pages."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-21T21:45:25.843735+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-21T21:45:25.843747+00:00", "vendors": []}
