Critical (9.8). EPSS 18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Cloudflare Image Resizing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution due to missing authentication and insufficient sanitization within its hook_rest_pre_dispatch() method in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary PHP into the codebase, achieving remote code execution.
