Affected Systems

The issue affects the WordPress Simple Photo Feed plugin developed by George Pattichis, versions up to and including 1.4.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 classifies the vulnerability as moderate, and the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low likelihood of exploitation.
