The Import XML and RSS Feeds for WordPress is vulnerable to remote code execution in versions up to, and including, 2.1.4. This is due to the plugin vendor leaving a malicious file behind when patching CVE-2023-4300. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access the 169227090864de013cac47b.php file and achieve remote code execution.
