The impact is the unauthorized disclosure of confidential system data.
Affected Systems
The affected component is the Softaculous PageLayer plugin for WordPress, with all releases from the earliest available through version 2.0.8. Site owners who have installed or enabled this plugin during that time window are at risk.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 4.3 classifies the vulnerability as moderate. The EPSS score is below 1%, indicating that exploitation is unlikely at present, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
