What to do about this

Patch on your next cycle Worth fixing, but not ahead of other work.

Fix it

Update Tables And Charts Manager For to 3.9.5 or later.

That is the complete fix. Everything below is what protects you in the meantime.

Cannot update today? Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure blocks this class of attack before WordPress processes the request.

Inspect request parameters and bodies for injection, traversal and file-inclusion payloads, and refuse the request rather than logging it.
