The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

The product makes files or directories accessible to unauthorized actors, even though they should not be.

Remediation

Update to version 3.0.7, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Requests carrying this pattern arrive without a session, so nothing upstream of the firewall gets a chance to reject them: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Paid Membership Subscriptions 3.0.7 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
