Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.18%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before 4.6.4 does not have proper authorization on a public review-loading action, allowing unauthenticated users to force the site to make repeated billable third-party API requests using the site's own configured API key, and to create an unbounded number of attacker-controlled rows in the database.
