It is also advised to update the theme if an update becomes available, or seek assistance from a hosting provider or web developer to help secure the site.

Compliance Impact

Exposure of sensitive data due to this vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized access.
