The Popup Box – Best WordPress Popup Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the ays_pb_create_author AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.6.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.62%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
