This CVE was published Oct 12, 2026 and is one of 14 known issues for this plugin.

Update, patch or deactivate.

A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
