This is due to the fact that the plugin allows the use of a file inclusion feature via shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or higher, to create pods and users (with default role).","published":"2024-04-09T19:15:13.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T06:51:47.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security@wordfence.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":4.3,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-862"],"affected":["podsfoundation/pods"],"epss":{"score":0.00554,"percentile":0.46005,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.55%).
