Operationally, ranked in the top 3.2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
The Product Table by WBW plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to remote code execution in all versions through 2.0.1. The flaw resides in the saveCustomTitle function, which lacks authorization checks and performs no sanitization on data written to the languages/customTitle.php file, enabling code injection as described by CWE-94. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the vulnerability remotely without user interaction to execute arbitrary code on the underlying server, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the WordPress site.
Public references include the vulnerable source in the plugin's Trac repository, the changeset 3113335 that addresses the defect, and the corresponding Wordfence advisory, indicating that updating the plugin is the primary mitigation.
The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.3768 and currently sits at 0.3033, signaling increased exploitation interest after disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
