The flaw enables exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels and affects the plugin from unknown initial versions through 1.6.4. Published on 2026-01-22, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating high severity with low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.

Unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and without requiring user interaction (UI:N). Exploitation allows limited disruption to confidentiality, integrity, and availability in an unchanged scope (S:U), potentially enabling unauthorized access or manipulation within the plugin's access control mechanisms.
