Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate to the latest plugin version when available. Until then, review admin actions in the plugin and ensure all state-changing requests validate anti-CSRF nonces.
