Exploitation probability is very low (EPSS 0.05%) and no active attacks are reported.
Technical ContextAI
Image Caption Hover Pro is a WordPress plugin that adds hover effects and captions to images. The vulnerability stems from a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in one of the plugin's endpoints or functions, likely an AJAX handler.

The issue affects all versions of the plugin before 20.0, as identified by Patchstack.
