No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files retrieve sensitive data or execute code depending on the POP chain present. This requires access to the sites SALT_NONCE and and SALT_KEY to exploit.
