This vulnerability in miniOrange Custom API for WP (<= 4.2.2) is due to incorrect privilege assignment, enabling an attacker with some privileges to escalate their privileges further. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates network attack vector, low complexity, privileges required but no user interaction, with scope changed and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with limited privileges to escalate their privileges, potentially gaining full control over the affected WordPress environment. This can lead to complete compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the scope of the affected plugin and possibly the entire WordPress installation.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, consider restricting access to the plugin's API endpoints and limiting user privileges to the minimum necessary.
