Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can install unauthorized plugins on a vulnerable Shopire WordPress site, potentially leading to unauthorized modifications of site functionality or configuration. The integrity of the system can be impacted, but confidentiality and availability are not affected according to the CVSS vector. This could facilitate further attacks depending on the installed plugin's capabilities.
Mitigation Recommendations
