What to do about this

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

Fix it

Update If-So Dynamic Content to 1.10.2 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.

Am I affected by this vulnerability?

You are affected if your site runs If-So Dynamic Content. Versions below 1.10.2 are vulnerable; that release and later are not.

How do I fix it?

Update If-So Dynamic Content to version 1.10.2 or later. That is the complete fix. Until you can update, Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure contains this class of attack at the request layer.

What can an attacker actually do?

This is a Improper Input Validation flaw. An attacker who exploits it can submit values the application never expected, with effects that vary by feature.
