CVE-2025-6586: Metagauss Download Plugin

High severity, CVSS 7.2. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
